Default Need a replacement air dam/scoop

I bumped/scraped a concrete parking block with the front scoop/air dam when pulling into a parking spot. I felt it make contact and slowly backed off. There was no visible damage and I thought I'd gotten away with it. Drove 450 miles home the next day and when I arrived the entire scoop/airdam {?} was gone. Never felt it drop off... Not sure where to look to find a replacement. Seems like I should be able to buy a replacement and reinstall it but need advice as to where to search.

If your lower radiator baffle and the left, right and center metal retainers are still in place then all you need are the plastic pieces.

Default Thanks...

Appreciate the quick rep[ly with the parts shown. As you can see I still have the three plastic pieces in place but there was an air dam {for lack of abetter description} forward of these three across the entire front and hanging down. That is what I scraped on the parking block and the brisk 450 mils ride home seems to have blown it away {???} On each side, lined up with the slight gap between the two smaller outside pieces and the longer center piece are thick black plastic pieces that appear to be what the air dam was attached to.

I'll give the Corvette parts site a call on Monday and thanks again.

Default Duh...

After reviewing the Corvette site it seems I may be searching for a solution for which there is no known problem... the government does this a lot. The three pieces that I do have, have seen better days and will plan on replacing them and ordering the mounting bolt kit as well. Thanks again.

When I ordered from Zip the mounting bolts in the kit were a bit too short. This was for an '84, so yours may be different. I ended up ordering some longer bolts on Amazon.
