How do you call parts of the underbody that go directly underneath the front lip? They are made of dark-colored plastic and it looks like they have funnel-like openings that direct air towards the engine.

Yes, that seems to be it. One more question. I may need to replace the air dam. I see that it consists of three pieces, GM seems to call the middle piece "front deflector", but what about the side pieces?

#17 in the photo.... "Valance Panel" Left or Right. Use the GMpartshouse.com website link below and look under "Front Bumper" components...
