Default Center Air Dam Bolt Missing....

One of the center air dam bolts/screws that connect the air dam to the frame rail under the car is missing and now the air dam is hanging off on one side. I managed to prop it up for now, but I need to buy another bolt/screw to fix this. Does anyone know the size of the bolt that goes in there? Any help will be appreciated.

If you are talking about the center black peice under the car, then it is held on by some "springamajiggers" as I call them.

In the mean time you can fashion something up out of a chain or tie wrap to hold it.

Actually this is the bolt I'm looking at replacing. (Where it says "Bolt on each end")



Does anyone know what size to get? or is it kind of a guess and check kinda thing?

Just take the other one off and go to your local hardware store and match it up.

Correction, the socket that fits the bolt is a 10mm. However the bolt that fits is M6 x 1 x 10 mm.

Just replaced mine today!
