Not to hijack, but I'm also looking for a missing piece. My SS doesn't have the factory weather stripping that came in front of the airbox. I would like to find a part number or something so that I can replace what's missing. I've checked numerous hardware stores without any luck. I fear my only choice left is to find a local SS for sale at a dealer and take it for a "test drive" to get it back.

I've checked. They only have the weather stripping tape that goes on the hood that helps to seal the top and sides of the airbox. But, not the bottom piece I'm looking for.

Thats weird! It should have come with one.

You can always add extra weather stripping to that area instead to seal it off.

It came with one. But, I think it may have been lost at Rapid Motorsports during the H/C install.
