I bought a big mouth air dam, but I am missing was I believe is the front spoiler. I had an arctic white one on the car when I bought it, but the previous owner had a penchant for scraping it, so off it came.
I have found three piece sets but in this photo on BMAD website it looks like one solid piece but it may be three.
Is that an OEM front spoiler that goes around the big mouth air dam, or is there another I haven't managed to turn up? Do I even NEED a front spoiler with an air dam?
Thank you!

they're "deflectors" by description nearly everywhere that you can see them available. In this image there's #28 left/right and #32 center. #40 in the image isn't related that's a filler in the park/fog opening.

My bad on that one, front spoiler did come up as a search tag though.
The deflector,spoiler same thing and once again the center piece will not work with that thing hanging off the bumper. You see the 2 piece on each side of that thing in the middle? The center peice isn't there BECAUSE IT WONT FIT. I hate the bull$hit thank you feature,don't know how many times I've hit it by mistake.

I am aware the center piece won't fit, the point of the picture and this post was to get the proper name for the those pieces on each side as my vette does not have them.
When you google it, you get spoiler, now that I have the proper terminology I can easily search for the oem items.

OK,now I've got it. Just to be clear,there's only one thing on the underside of the bumper,the SPOILER.Thats what I call it anyway.
Sorry for a slightly off topic question, but is there a problem with taking the entire front spoiler off? We have a lot of speed bumps and driveways that are low enough to scrape mine and I just keep thinking that it's going to be destroyed anyway if I don't take it off.

There's likely many dozen of these out there with the center deflector included in the install. I think there's even instructions for the modification. In the OP's post #1 that car has it!!!!

I could be wrong but from what I read the center piece helps funnel air up into the radiator(cooler temps etc etc)
but it is prone to being destroyed as it's so low to the ground.

WHAT? It looks like there all on there in the picture I see.
Nobody told me the center piece had to come off to put My BMAD on and I had no trouble doing it. So, I'm not sure what "Center piece" you are talking about. I even pop-riveted a 1" extension on for a race I did a few years back. That extension hangs a little low and is beat up and scruffy looking now from my steep driveway, but everything is still on there. (I really need to pull that old thing off and put a fresh one on)
People are mistaken to think it forces more air up into the radiator. It really doesn't. What it DOES do is create a low-pressure area BEHIND the radiator by sweeping air out from under the car, so hot air can be pulled down and out of the engine area at speed.
Based on what I see I believe the center section has been heavily modified. It looks like most of it has been cut away with only the section running to each side section. The original piece mates up with each side section,in the picture the top of the center section is gone.
Went out and took a cellphone picture of mine. Quality of the photo isn't great. The dividing line between the side and center piece is right between those two rivets where that "U" shaped cut-out is below the black skid bumper. Not sure if it shows up too well in this poor photo, but it is all stock.
That beat up red blotched thing is the extension I riveted on. The cheap black paint is all beat & scraped off of it now.
