This piece of plastic was mounted on the rear edge of the floorpan at the engine bay on the drivers side. The one on the passenger side mush have fallen off due to rust.
Not looking for a concourse car here, but don't want to omit any pieces that will cause me problems down the road. Anyone run their car without these plastic flaps?  |

I can see the flaps making a difference in cooling. With the bottom of the car being so flat, the air just goes right by. With those there, the turbulence slows the air down and moves it about along the cooling fins below the engine. I'm going to install some on my early car, actually. Seems like particularly on the freeway, when head temps are higher and the air is going by faster that these would come into play.
