Radiator or frame rail air deflectors? ?
Hey guys, question...did our cars come with any type of deflectors on the sides in addition to the lip deflector underneath car on the radiator support? I think there was like some rubber pieces on the side but not sure. Still having trouble cruising with coolant temps on the high side and wanted to make sure I had all the pieces to help direct air to the radiator...pics would be great as well...I found something at LMR that is some kind of air deflectors and says 99-04, but don't remember seeing it on our cars but I am getting older lol...thanks.

Re: Radiator or frame rail air deflectors? ?
there were 2 plastic pieces that mounted the radiator support frame and overlapped the edges of the radiator.
I paid $2 to get into a junkyard and snagged a couple, they were super cheap. I cut em up to clear around the procharger intercooler. I cant say they made a noticeable difference but cant hurt

Re: Radiator or frame rail air deflectors? ?
the vast majority of cars in the yard here already had the front bumper off, I just brought one of those panel puller tools with me used for prying out the plastic push pins.
Like I said, I grabbed a couple because I knew I would need to trim em up to clear the intercooler.
