You can get them fairly cheap on eBay and they're east to replace.

You have to understand that these cars sit way low & you will scrape if you aren't careful, the air dam is one thing but damaging the radiator support brackets can also happen

They're like tires, a replaceable part. Don't get too concerned!!

Driving the Tail of the Dragon you hear it scrape in almost every curve, a great sound!!!

Used a box cutter. Cut about 1/2 an inch.

These are getting harder and harder to find. Real expensive at trunkmonkey. Much more reasonable here (have to order the center piece separately and the left/right as a set).

AGREE, NEVER buy anything from CorvetteMods or their affiliates. Super incompetent and not to be trusted!

I ended up finding an auto body shop nearby me that a friend recommended and I was very pleased with the owner guy telling me to bring the car in after about a week(they’re busy) and he’d have one of his guys assess the air dam problem. I went home and bought the new corner piece online from GM parts direct ($50). It was delivered pretty quickly. Went to the shop on schedule and his guy removed the damaged one and put on the new one and added an extra screw for added strength. 20 minutes in and out. Gave the guy some bucks and now everything looks much better than before.

RPICARPARTS took my order and money, then quickly refunded as they cannot get any and have no ETA.

I ended up going with Corvette Central and having to pay for shipping and tax. Hopefully it doesn't take too long to arrive.
