Default Plastic cover under front end..

Not sure if this is the right area to post this but between moving so many times and my car being in pieces I must have thrown away the plastic cover underneath the front end. Now anyone with a blower or turbo did you keep this part on?

Sure was nice having quick access to the front engine area. But did notice the front bumper doesn’t have a sturdy feel to it. But I also don’t have my Midwest front bumper support installed.

Anyone make there own type of support instead like with thin aluminum rods one or two going across like a strut brace instead of the plastic?

Hey man,

talking about the plastic behind the air dam that you have to remove to do anything on the front of the car. Large plastic that screw to the front and side bumpers.

Is this an F-Body or a later model Camaro? On the F-Body, there's just a big bumper cover.
