I can tell you from personal experience looking at junkyards that you most likely arent going to find the air dam in decent condition. i had to get mine off ebay......
New ones look better anyways:

suprisingly enough the yard did have one in perfect condition for the 91 next to what i was parting. only thing was the other guy I gave our forum stuff to needed it and was already getting it off with the bumper as well when I got there. Wasn't really the one I'm looking for though, I'm trying to find one with the fog light slots from 95ish.

Finished painting the Grill! Go figure, I pulled this out of my *** with masking tape and 2 rattle cans of paint.

Also, I knocked out one side of the slats since the other side was already gone, are there any rectangle shape fog lights that ill fit in those spaces? and could I securly mount them to the grill?

Are you looking to fill up the whole empty space or have some room to move it around? I'd check around parts stores or Walmart. Or get the the dimensions of the space and find what size your comfortable with

little room to move around, wanting the type that will fill it up really. going to add 4 more when I get a new valence. Outer 2 openings get white lights, next holes in get yellow. that will be enough for me since I drive out in the backwoods alot and (everyone calls me insane for this) I very much enjoy driving in inclement condition, Heavy Fog, snow, etc etc. Dunno why but its just fun to me.

Edit - I can use any light that measures 5.75 x 2.50 inches. The stock option Bosch Pilot 150's are a bit too tall to fit in there.
