if that is a piece form a thirdgen it's Camaro Specific. i have nothing like that on my car. they look like battery tray inserts. but not for our battery trays

EDIT* upon taking a closer look and noticing that little cutout... i think these could be supports for your nose, check out the underside of the car near the radiator, behind the turn signals.

They are just wind buffers, they go under the batter tray, and under the tray where you char. canister. is.

Shoot.. I'll go try to snap a pic of one installed on my car.

Here you go, here is a crappy cell phone pic of the one of the drivers side. You can see where it goes in relation to sway bar, and air dam.

(I just poked my head under the front and snaped it, hope this helps)

I took all that crap off. I get much better radiator flow now that all the stupid baffles aren't there!

I dunno, your the firebird expert. :-p, I can't say that I have ever taken a gander up your front end.

Alright, i'm going to get under and take a glance, i got curious as to where they went when the owners son got upset at me for saying i'd never recomend a friend there on their survey, i just made a list and am going to tell them if they find a way to fix majority of the list that i'll retract that statement and do the same with the BBB..

So far on the list i've got

Tools missing from under my seat (screwdrivers and a few torques)
$5 in change missing from my ashtray (not really complaining, still rude tho)

those pieces wern't put back on the car

they "fixed" my headlights, but their loose again, and the pocket's scratched to heck

they cracked my dash pad and tried to say it was the sun, but i've never seen the sun crack a dash like mine is..

they put on the new front end (bumper cover, impact bar, shock absorber, headlight bar, and hood) and the front pieces are very loosely on there, my front "spoiler" shakes like crazy like it's going to fall off, and it doesn't wrap around the fender on the back at all, they drilled a new hole just to get it on there

that's all i've got for now.. there's other things they're going to fix, but they deny any doing in my dash pad, and they said they'll "investigate" into the money and tools missing.. Rolling Eyes

How would painters be under your seats, or messing around with your dash? That's a pretty weak shop if they're letting their employees pull that kind of stuff.

That is an xbox 360 controller silly!

dude that sucks about the paint place! you should totally tell them you want it fixed! it would be really helpful if you had any of it in writing.

Haha good one jake lol,
i am going to go to my cousin's tomarrow and email some pics to myself and print them because as of Febuary 8th (the first time they tried to get my to pick it up when the old guy hit my car) the dash was not cracked.. then the second time i went to get it (march 10th) the dash was cracked, but there wasn't any spare pieces in the car.. i'm going to bring the pictures to the dash along with all those problems in my other post, and show them, also bring up my missing tools.. my biggest thing is just that dang dash pad, it's hard to find a perfect one, and this one was in great shape before..

here's a couple pics i just snapped

Does that look like a sun crack??.. keep in mind, january 11th to march 22nd..

They very well may be telling the truth. My perfect dash did that exact same thing mid winter. Then it split in 2 more places as well a few weeks later.

I've got 2 views on it.. one is if they just would of fixed it right the first time everything would of been good, and the other is if they'd not stack boxes in car's it wouldn't of happened either..
