Default Rubber front spoiler/airdam

Hi all,

Where's the best place to buy the rubber front spoiler from. I've been trying RPI designs for the last two days and no one answers the phone. Mid america has it but is pretty pricey. Any suggestions are welcome.

Cc2,

Do you need all three pieces or just the outer air deflectors?

The center piece to me is the most important as it directs air up into the radiator area, but the outside pieces do help with aerodynamics. That said, I've seen owners post that they run their cars without the outside air deflectors.

I'M one of them.
The outer piece on the driver's side kept coming loose, ans I decided to remove both outer pieces.
Have not noticed any difference in the way the car handles, or any change in operating temp.

I removed the air dam (front and both sides) so my 2001 would have the necessary clearance to be boarded on Amtraks auto train from Lorton, Va. to Sanford, Florida. I failed to replace the air dams when I was in Florida from October to the following May. I know that the C5 is a "bottom feeder", but I saw no noticeable difference in operating temperatures. I admit that I'm not a spirited driver, so maybe that's why the temperature stayed within the normal range with no difference in handling. Depending on how you operate your C5, maybe you don't really need them (?)...

I'd check ebay because thats where I found mine. I replaced all 3 pieces because they were all damaged pretty bad. I paid $100 and it came with all new hardware.
