Air Deflector

Will this air deflector work on our cars?

Not if your car is intercooled. It'll prevent the air from being "rammed" up into the stock intercooler. On a hotair, I think it'll work.

Sorry. I have a front mount. Does it look like it will work?

looks like it will work to me .. i dont know for sure tho

 

[Robbie-87plz]

Since it's a replacement part for another G-body, try going to the salvage yard for one, see where it's attached to the front end etc and see if it'll be of any help. Do you have the dual fan setup? I'd recommend one with the FMIC...

Ive got a mint one off an 84-85 GN.On a scale of 1 to 10,its an 9.I got it from Bweavy for $125 shipped which is what ill let it go for if youre interested

I only need an air deflector that is the length of the radiator. I have a front mount and I would like some additional air.

I like the $18 one compared to the $125.00 one. http://www.dixiemontecarlodepot.com/items/DM10150.htm

I will get one and let ya'll know how it works out.

Did this air deflector bolt up? Notice any changes in highway temps? Where did it bolt up at? TIA, Nick

 

[justabuickv6]

It bolted up perfectly. All the holes were predrilled in both the air deflector and the car. It's hard to say about it helping. I installed it and then didn't drive the car for a few weeks. The temp is always changing. Today's temp was 95. I was on the highway doing 75 with the AC on. Temp was 190.

I've been thinking of doing this also.
Could you post some pics?!

TIA

That doesnt go from end to end on the car does it??That looks kinda like a factory radiator air deflector.If thats the case,go get 1 at a jy for $2-$3.

The 84-85 goes all the way across the front like the 86-87 airdams w/o a hole in the middle.You seem em pop up every now and again...

This bolts up more under the front of the car I believe, off of the radiator support not the front bumper. Its not meant to replace the front air dams.

 

[justabuickv6]

The air deflector is the length of the radiator. It mounts directly below it. If you have time, look under your radiator and you will see 6 bolt holes. This is where you install it.

I will post pictures next week.
