Default Installed Air Dam pics?

OK so I am still trying to figure out what I am missing from my cooling system as far as pieces go. I have seen some air dams online but only the parts. Can someone with a similar year C3 take a couple of pictures of an air dam installed? I have a 1980.

Also would it be possible to get some pics of the top of the radiator and what is suppose to be there? I think I am missing a few pieces. All I have is the radiator shroud and the scoop on the bottom. Thank you a TON in advance..

Do you have the assembly instruction manual (AIM)? The AIM shows the installation of the front valance panel and the chin spoilers. There are two rubber spoilers, a left and a right.

There is nothing on top of the radiator for the 1980 models except a foam seal which contacts the bottom of the hood when it's closed and forces air through the radiator.

Purchase the AIM. Post a pic of what you have.

I have ordered an AIM but not here yet. Guess that is what I get for ordering off eBay instead of directly from someone.. I do not think I have any foam seals.. I will take some pictures when I get home with my camera instead of my iPhone so they are better pics.
