I think Ford calls it an "engine air seal". That's what the Dealer called it when I bought one for my '99 Contour.

May also be called a "lower filler", but double check...

Be prepared to shell out some money.. I just bought one about a year ago at employee cost and it was I think $60.00-$80.00. Be prepared to spend well over that!!

Actually I believe it is there to help direct air flow up into the radiator. The Taurus has one of these.

I need one badly, it'll help my overheating problem along with sealing that particular area up for the CAI

Mine's sitting in my garage, not attached to my tour, maybe i should put it back on

the lower radiator shield is intended to create a low pressure zone above it, further aiding in getting air through the radiator. Replacing it will significantly reduce operating temperatures.

Mine broke off, and ended up dragging it at 45-50 Mph home for 5 miles, its really beat up

And yes, it helps direct air flow though the Radiator

So that isn't there just to piss you off

Nope.

SVT has a different shield than others because of the lower bumper. There's even a SVT sticker on it.

Anything with a SVT sticker is SVT specific.

Yeah, because I always drive around with no bumper, headlights, and oval on my car.

(Yes, that's my car)
