Default Air dam

Today I noticed that one part of my air dam ( the rubber piece on the passenger side) came off from one screw. There doesn't seem to be any way to put it back cause the rubber whole got torn up. I did a quick fix with a wire and went on E- bay to look for that particular piece. The problem is there are plenty of air dams for sale but they only sell it as a 3 piece and I do not need the middle part and the driver side part. Does anybody sell them separately? Is there a way I could fix mine? Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks
Victor

If you want to buy a replacement single for one side you can order from Gene or Patrick at GM Parts house, a forum vendor. Here is a link to the parts from their site:

http://www.gmpartshouseusa.com/partl...layCatalogid=0

About $22 plus shipping.

You could also find a thin piece of aluminum ad cut it to shape around the torn part of your current piece. Make it a few inches larger than the tear and drill a hole through the aluminum to screw it back in place.

You can get a new one at a reasonable price from gmpartshouse.com as mentioned above, and vendors like Mid-America sell a bracket that can be installed and will hold the air dam in place.

Most Corvette vendors, (Ecklers, Mid America, Etc)sell each piece separately.
