Go to the GM dealer and get a new one. This is one part that they don't rape you on. $20.00 to $40.00, depending on how well they like you.
It is called an air deflector and be aware that there are 3 parts that are called air deflector.
1. Goes in the nose of the car.
2. Is the strip that looks like a spoiler across the width of the front end.
3. Bolts to the bottom of the radiator.

If its the one that bolts to the bottom of the radiator you can use one off a late 70's Olds Cutlass. We put one on the 83Z. Two of the 6 bolt holes line up and the other 4 are easily drilled out in the plastic spoiler/air dam. The one from the Cutlass is wider and lower than the original. Looks good, works great, cost $5 at the junkyard.
