An integrated noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) decoupler and front impact brace for a vehicle includes one or more brackets configured for attaching at a first end to a front grille support member and at an opposed end to a radiator support member, and an air flow deflector strip associated with the one or more brackets. The air flow deflector strip is carried by the brackets, and is configured to substantially prevent a flow of air through a gap defined between the front grille support member and a lower air deflector of the vehicle. The one or more brackets each include at least one curved retainer for holding the air flow deflector strip. A system for reducing noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) in a vehicle including the integrated NVH decoupler and front impact brace is described.
