Default Front Air Dam / Spoiler
Anyone replace their 3 piece front air dam / spoiler?

Talking about these pieces: http://www.mamotorworks.com/corvette...-166-7549.html

If so how easy or difficult was it? What was required, lifting the car, nuts, bolts screws etc.?

You could do this without lifting the car - but - it is WAY EASIER if it is up in the air 6 to 8 inches. A few 7 mm bolt-style screws and they change out pretty quickly....

It is not a case of if, it is a case of when, you will replace it.

It is about a 15 min job. Lifting does make it easier.

Yeah, I consider these pieces disposable. My car is a 2005, I’ve replaced the center section twice and the RH & LH Valance pieces about once a year.

The left and right sides are pretty easy. The center section requires a bit more time.
