Front Bumper Trim Needed - But What Part? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

RedlineStands · 11-28-2021, 02:26 PM

My car is a 2014. I bought it used, so if it utilizes a different front bumper, I'm unaware. I've now bought two different pieces of trim to fit across the bottom of the front bumper and both were the wrong part. I even went to the dealer and gave them my vin. They looked up the part, ordered it, and then we discovered upon installation it wasn't the right part. So here I am with no idea what part to buy. Does anyone recognize this front bumper and the mounting holes? I'm hoping someone can tell me what part is missing. Attached is the receipt of the part I got from the dealer. He said this was the only trim piece that goes across the bottom of a 2014 Camaro SS for the whole 2014 model year, regardless of trim package. Thanks in advance!

The holes look like they are lined up with the wheel guards, might have info printed on the inside of them.

Does it have skirts on the side?

Looks like holes for a splitter. Possibly an aftermarket one.

It might be worth a call to this vendor, it's probably an aftermarket which is why the dealership is not able to help.
The T-4 splitter is a pretty popular aftermarket item on the 5th generation camaro.

The part # on your receipt is for the lower rubber air deflector which I see I missing from your car. Btw the price is ridiculous. You can pick that up online for around $50.00 (hardware not included). Not sure about your missing front splitter deal though.

InFiD3ViL · 11-28-2021, 10:49 PM

Those are holes from a previously installed splitter. Mine has similar holes from my OEM GFX front splitter that disintegrated.

1JEWLDSSRS · 11-29-2021, 10:55 AM

Yep, those are holes where an aftermarket splitter was installed by the previous owner.

It might be something like this duraflex z28 splitter? Looks like you have the z28 grill and wheels. And the splash guards or whatever those are called.

How important are those rubber air deflectors? I did a bumper swap and never bothered to put it back on the new bumper

Not at all. Took mine off 10 years ago when I installed my first splitter!! Haven't missed it at all...

InFiD3ViL · 12-01-2021, 09:49 AM

Yep, looks like it was a Z28 style splitter. You can tell due to the rock guards and how the Z28 splitter is designed to 'notch' into the lower portion of the guards.

Also, as said above, looks like the car was Z28 themed.

.

If your talking about the factory lower rubber air deflector it is necessary
to keep road dust and debris out of your engine compartment. I'm on my
3rd one in 12 years on my stock '10 SS. Also make sure you order the
correct mounting retainers.

1JEWLDSSRS · 12-02-2021, 08:20 AM

10 years without mine and the engine bay is spotless!! lol. Just sayin...

Junker80 · 12-02-2021, 08:41 AM

I really just drive it to the liquor store and back so it's probably fine but maybe I'll stick it back on. 70% of the retainer pins were missing from the old bumper.
