Im looking for the panel that goes under the front end, attaches to the bumper and the engine plate. Mine is broken so the engine plate is ziptied to it...and that bugs me. If anyone is parting out a car and knows what I'm talking about(I'm horrible at describing things) please PM me with an offer or any info as to where I can get one. Thanks!

Batwing

Darwantae951

HAHA, yes, I need a batwing!

i see new ones on ebay all the time, but they typically want $200 plus for them.

Now that that's resolved, is your name really "Darwin"? If so, you're my hero...

Yes my real name is Darwin! I'm named after a Nebraska Farmer! (no ones ever said that one before!)

Darwantae951

ouch, 200 bucks is a little out of my price range right now, guess I need to put that one on the back burner...oh well, It'll get fixed sometime

CPTdooberhead

Batwing, yes. Just get a front splitter, they look so much better- a black one would look great on your car (like I have)

A Nebraska farmer named "Darwin"??? That goes against all of my preconceived notions!

ECUdooberhead, how do you mount the splitter? does it replace the "batwing" or does it attach to the same mounting points? And also who makes a good one and for how much?

Darwantae951

BeerBurner, I go against everyones preconvieved notions

I don't know for sure, as I don't have a turbo...(yet ), but from what I've heard....yes, it replaces the batwing. Who makes a good one?

There's two competing designs, one's made by "GT Racing". Theirs is essentially a long flat piece that sticks out the front. It's less 'stylish', and is more likely to drag on driveways, but it's the most effective design, similar to what will be seen on race cars.

The other primary design is the one pictured above, called the 'AIR' splitter. I don't know where to buy it, or how much it is. The 'AIR' model seems to be more popular, and does look better according to most people (as well as being much less likely to drag on driveways).

Scootin159, thanks, I'm going to look into where to get one, Does anyone have a picture of the GT Racing version?

You also can try a salvage yard if you want to stick with the batwing. I swear without the one in my town i'd be in debt to my eras just paying for parts!!

Here is a shot of my car with the AIR splitter.




It's nice, but it takes a bit of work to mount it, and reduced ground clearance is the result.

Keep in mind that it really is cheaper and more practical to repair your existing batwing undertray or source another used one....
