I noticed that my 6MT with the ground effects/air dam package has some styrofoam spacers between the bottom of the radiator and the part of the air dam that extends underneath the car. At first glance I thought it was road trash- it looked like a small piece of cheap packing styrofoam stuck in that space. As I prepared to pull it out I realized that there was a 2nd piece on the other side of the radiator wedged in the same way. Are they there to dampen vibration or something?

 

My 8 has 4000 mi on it and when I went out and looked there is some now dirty foam under the silver looking AC coil. The radiator is behind that coil. Hope this info helps.

 

Hey I need to check that out. Are they on the AT/T too?.

 

The foam is just there to fill in the space between the real front bumper and bumper cover. Almost all cars have that.
