    I bought a pair of these in Hershey to possibly use, but I am wondering what they actually came off of. The guy I bought them from told me a Firebird. They have part numbers on them but google was no help, they are 3403650 and 3403651 rh and lh sides. They are 3.25 inches wide

    The black plate is removable, not quite sure where I will use them but for a dollar I had to buy them.

    Hi. Is it possible they are fake scoops? Or with the plate removed actually let air escape from under the hood or elsewhere. Jimmie

    yes, they are fake scoops. They look kind of 1980s, when no production cars had any need for real scoops.

    I was thinking maybe from a fender, They are small not much air to be had through them.

    They do have casting numbers I mentioned them in my original post, but I came up with nothing on a search.
     
  9. They look kind of overbuilt for a vehicle application. The sturdy studs must have mounted into something pretty solid. Hand grips for lifting something is my wild ass guess.
