Yes,they are on either side of the air dam.The damaged is the driver's front. It is bent not quite at 45 degrees. apparently material is not very strong, i always take it easy in and out of driveways,but it happened. I will post a picture asap. if you have any other info it would be appreciated, Thanks

HI there, It is aluminum in construction, designed to support the cooling module of the vehicle. This means the radiator, condenser and the cooling fan and control module. First, it doesnt come black and must be painted. Second, the J-nuts are separate and need to be ordered to install into it. Those Jnuts hold the horns and front air dam to the frame. Once they are installed into the frame, the frame can be installed. Simply support the entire cooling assembly and then remove the 13mm bolts that hold it in. Disconnect any wiring attached and remove it. Allthebest, c4c5 | ||||||||||||||||||||
