Question Front Under Cowl??

The other week I had the hot side boost tube replaced under warranty. Yesterday, I noticed it seems like it's missing some under cowl. But I could be wrong.

I snagged a pic from above. Sorry I don't have a lower pic it is stupid snowy and windy outside...


You can see what looks like a spot for another lower cowl to snap in.

I have this pic of my front bumper and it looks like the same empty snaps on the bottom.



Please will somebody check. If you open your hood and look between the radiator and the intercooler (SS models) you'll see the area I'm talking about. I want to know before I accuse my dealership of not re-attaching a part.

TNX gents!

You have the big black plastic piece that attaches to the bottom of the bumper right?

You talking about the "air splitter" type thing? Then yes.

Can you see what looks like tabs on the backside of the horizontal plastic? Can also see ground behind the intercooler?

I'm wondering if I'm missing a piece between the "air splitter"/"curb brush" the plastic that hangs straight down that most people brush on the curbs as they back out of a driveway.

between there and the front sub frame.

I tried to take a pic from under the car... didn't work out so well.

That plastic piece is just one solid piece that hangs down once the bumper is pulled off. Did u happen to take a pic of the front of the car when u pulled the bumper?

^ agreed. the "splitter" is one piece and covers from the bumper under the IC to the lower frame under the radiator if you can picture that. I'll take a pic of mine when I get home tonight since it's removed and you can compare. BTW if you look down, you shouldn't see the ground, just black plastic. Hope that kinda helps G.M.

Later

Yeah mine's all plastic back to the splitter than nothing further back, towards the sub frame.

I didn't notice it till I opened the hood to check the oil and saw snow under there.

Here's a few shots from my front bumper when I did my lights... if I zoom in on my non-compressed PB version, I don't see anything past the splitter.


And a few front car shots... but you don't see behind the IC
