Default What Is This Part Called??

What is the part that sits under the front bumper called? Its the piece of trim to keep the bumper from scraping on the ground. Better yet... Does anyone know where I can find an after market piece like maybe an aluminum one? Ive tried everything on ebay and cant come up with anything

Are you talking about the black plastic piece attached by 4 bolts. It's an air deflector to help blow air across the radiator. You can get them from 50 resto. Why would you want an aluminum one?


This piece?

Under the cover there are usually 2 pieces. The absorber, and the reinforcment bar.

Don't sweat it. That's what this place and places like it are for.

Ithgink if your car is that low you're gonna tear it up no matter what it's made of.

Just throwing this out there.

Wonder what a Fox would look like with an aluminum front spoiler on it that is bent at an angle, kinda like the ones on '69-'70 Mustang.
