94-98 Cobra front bumper Q

Is there a black plastic airdam thing under the front bumper on these cars? Just curious if this helps with cooling since these cars take so much airflow from below...

Re: 94-98 Cobra front bumper Q

yes and no. it sit too far aft to provide any real aerodynamics, but yes it does have one..same as the gt. unless your's is aftermarket. I tore mine off cause it was busted, hanging off and dragging the ground.. its too far underneath to really notic e on the front..

my abc exclusive front bumper doesn't have one tho.. but my abc bumper fits like shit too..

Re: 94-98 Cobra front bumper Q

I dont think it was meant for aerodynamics. I think it was there to direct/scoop up more airflow to the radiator. I was wondering if this would improve cooling at all...

Yes it is there for cooling and cooling only, from what I've read it is effective and it's not recomended to take them off. Jase it's not actually part of the bumper cover it attaches to the bottom of the core support.
