Where does the air deflector exactly go? I have it under the front be it is very visible, but not in the right spot, looks cool but now i think it is making it run to warm.

You want it under the radiator itself. The function is not only to help draw air upwards (to the front of the coil) but to create a low pressure area behind the radiator (so air wants to flow through the coil).

Good luck.

Anyone have a picture of this deflector so I can see if my car has it still?

pretty easy to spot. Its a separate piece from the bumper.

Big black plastic thing, probably scraped up.

I did a customish air dam so I cant help with a pic.
Good luck.

EDIT: it's LRS-8349A at www.50resto.com (in case the link below doesnt work).
