Part number help please *bumper

Hey all, I need some help locating a part number. I'm looking for the lower pan that connects to the two "pork chops" under the bumper.... Does anyone know it?

I ordered one from a dealer, but it wasn't the same as the one I took off.
I have an M-tech bumper & I think it's a different part number, but I never found out what it was.

I see I'm too slow with my post.
Nevertheless, if you need this part, I've got one here you can have for free, just pay shipping

I just need to find it. It's been a while since I've seen it.
Let me know.

OK I might be thick, but I got the part today... I installed the missing "pork chop" but I can't figure out how the part attaches to the car...???

Do you have a sport (M-Tech) bumper?
If so, you need to read my posts in reply to your original post.
I made the mistake of ordering the same part.
It didn't fit my sport bumper.

Each pork chop should have two downward facing holes, aligned with the length of the car.

The radiator cover has complementary holes.

You need clips and screws to mount it. The clips go on the pork chops, screws through the radiator cover.

the pork chops I have do not have holes on the radiator facing sides, but they do have what looks like "slots" Also the radiator cover is not wide enough to touch either side of the 'chops.

amancuso · 02-04-2009, 12:58 AM

Some pics of what I've got going on under the bumper... You'll see the "chops" don't have anywhere to install the tray, just "slots"

looks like someone cut it out for some reason, you can see how the edges are a little rough, it's possible you may have to replace those two plastic pieces

amancuso · 02-04-2009, 01:56 AM

What pieces are rough? One chop is brand new, and the other is in great shape..
