Under bumper spoiler
I've had my C6 since July, great car but I have an issue. That ugly black thingy scrapes on driveways and speed bumps, which is no joke because I live in the speed bump capital of the country. Suffice it to say, it is shredded already and it needs to be replaced. My question is this; Is the under bumper spoiler really necessary? If it is, am I looking forward to replacing it every year or is there an alternative?
I've already done a search on the topic, so don't flame my sorry a**.
Almost forgot, the C6 is at stock height.

The air dam is actually three pieces. The center piece helps direct air up and onto the radiator to help with cooling. So I wouldn’t remove that one, but you can’t really see it anyway. Some people remove the side pieces for the reasons you just spoke of.

I've had mine removed for a couple years, headers, tune, etc, no heat issues what so ever even down here in AZ heat.
Like above post states, I only removed outer plastic left center rubber piece there.

I lowered my car, and hence I had those scraping like crazy all over the place. I trimmed off about 1/2" off the bottom of the side pieces, and the same on the center piece.
It still scrapes occasionally on those high speed bumps. I try to go diagonal over those to stop the scraping.
