diffrence between air dam and lower deflector
I was looking at the website hawksthirdgen.org, and I noticed that they have a lower deflector and an air dam. Currently on my trans am i have the lower deflector but not the air dam is there any difference between these that will benefit cooling? Do i need both or can i just use the lower deflector?

"Air dam" is what most people call it " (air)deflector" is what GM calls it.

Well from the pictures they look like different things so is there any difference in their function?

Re: diffrence between air dam and lower deflector
Different years, both Camaros & Firebirds, had different ones. I dunno why, but the design changed throughout the years & can't really say that any design is better than another.
