Corvette as a snow plow
Long story short, I drove my vette in the snow and ripped off my air dam. The air dam itself is fine just the metal bracket was torn off. Does anyone know where I can get that metal bracket (the part with the two springs). I can't seem to find it. Maybe I'm typing in the wrong search terms.

If you look at their monthly specials here on the forum you can get the part number.

Not sure you can buy a bracket separately, but would not think so...

You can probably find someone throwing one of those away. One of my springs broke a while ago- I used pop rivets + washers to secure the rubber part back on... so far so good, until the air dam starts wearing thru.

I was gonna try and figure out a way to get the air dam back on but it is too cold and I'm not motivated. Car runs at around the same temperature too so I dont think anything will be hurt until I get the new dam on.

I know, I figured it would have been a great snow plow. Especially hitting a chunk of snow at about 50mph.

I'm a cheap *** so i'd probably just drill and screw the damn right into the bumper.
