Front air dam
Anybody running without it?
I'm tired of fixing/replacing it. Engine temp. seems to be stable without it, or with it mangled.
What are your opinions?

I ran without one for quite awhile without issues. (was lowered to a 26" front)
Car ran maybe 5 degrees higher, and took a little longer to cool down after idling for awhile, but no big deal.
You going to remove the side dams too?

Replace it, I have seen them on e-bay for around $40-60. They are there for a reason.

They're cheap, I'd just replace it!

I like the air dam, Lets me know right before I tear off my new spoiler
Leave it in, even if you ahve to cut it short, you will still get some effective cooling

I've been running without one for a few months now. No worries.
