Default Air dam

Has anyone tried the aftermarket air dam? Any input? I just about **** when I see what GM commands for those parts now. Cars pretty much sat for the past half dozen years, Got the bug to start driving it again... Don't think i'll auto-x or track it again, but stranger things have happened.. Lol She definitely needs some love b/4 I do anything.

Careful with aftermarket air dams they could cause overheating, you could always consider burying used OEM air dams.

I bought both an aftermarket center air dam and the two side pieces a few years ago. The two side pieces have held up great. The center dam was OK for fit and function until it lost one of the springs after a year or 2. At the time,I was fortunate to find a NOS OEM air dam at a resonable price.

If/when you get a new aftermarket air dam, check the attacment of the springs, consider bending or modifying to prevent them from coming off.
