Close off Panel '98+ Camaros and Firebirds

[95TransAm]

Do 98+ F-body's come with this panel to close off the opening located in the front driver's side engine bay in front of the fuse boxes, behind the headlamps?

You mean for like a cold air intake? 98+ use lids, so there's no need; pre98 had the piping with a filter on the end for an intake, and most people run them to that location and block them off to keep hot air from getting it; colder air = more power :)

Yeah, I was wondering if they came stock on 98+ cars so I could go pick it up for like $3 at the junkyard. I'm thinking that 98'+ lower driver side bumper panel does not have vents in it like the pre 98 models where the intake was, so I might just pick up that part at the junkyard and forget about the block off panel all together.

No, the 98+ don't come with it. The fuse boxes just cover it up.
