Plastic piece on the 99-04 stangs
 

What's that black plastic piece for that's near the front of the car? You can see them on stangs that don't have a chin spoiler. Just noticed mine hanging today and 2 of the 3 pushpin screws fell off so I just took it off. I'm assuming this is just a pointless piece and there's no need for me to put it back on?

To help keep water out of the engine bay, if its what I think your talking about.

yeah that's probably it. About a foot long or so. So I'm guessing I should get some new pins from ford and put it back on?

If it is the piece I am thinking of it is connect to the bottom of the radiator? It is to push a little bit of air up towards the radiator. It matches with the little side pieces of plastic, but just about all mustangs you see are missing them.

Raccoon took mine clean off today just a few mins ago ironicly.

Yeah you were right that's what it ended up being. Thanks

something on the highway took mine off :mad:

pretty sure i still have mine just missing one of those plastic pegs. Havnt checked since i put the chin spoiler on.

i had mine till i busted the radiator and radiator mount :0

haha you still getting the car back this week? That's pretty quick

yea Tue/wed... 5,013.16 of damage, over 10,000 including the Honda I hit... luckily i didnt damage the rail or they would have totaled it..

i busted mine off on a pile of snow last spring. dun need dat shit :)

Thoes radiator air deflectors are actually useful. I made my own out if aluminum and rubber and it is about 3" from the ground, flexible enough the be able to scrape on stuff and not break or bend permenatly but stays at the right angle for highway speeds. They create a high pressure zone infront of the radiator to push the air in and a low pressure zone behind the radiator to pull the air out.
