Air deflector that fits needed
On my car the center air deflector has been replaced but fits poorly. I took it off and found that the plastic section held on to the steel mount bracket was upside down. The plastic center section actually slanted rearward rather than being more upright. It was not damaged from a strike it was just a poor reproduction with issues. I can resolve the upside down plastic section by just removing the springs that secure it to the steel bracket and flipping the plastic, but the next issue is the metal bracket itself. It appears similar a stock piece but is not made correctly. It will not mount to the factory holes in the lower bar and at the same time fit the aluminum supports it rest against properly. Not even close. Bending it will not resolve this.
Other than making sizable modifications to this steel bracket to make it fit, has anyone recently ordered a center section that came with the steel bracket that fit correctly? There is a good chance all of the reproductions I see advertised are the same sourced items. Prices are wildly different depending on the vendor offering them. Maybe some are actually better than others.
Any suggestions? I really only need the center section but will buy a complete three-piece kit if one is correct.
