Hi all,

Any help is greatly appreciated. Today I was forced off of the road and the passenger front end of my 2007 Z06 got damaged. The splitter needs replacing - very simple with 13 screws and I already removed it. The more challenging issue is the passenger side air dam. It got pushed up about 1.5 inches where the air dam attaches to the center piece. I can't tell how much damage actually exists but were it not for the bent rubber air dam I wouldn't even have noticed. Does anyone know what is up there. I'm tempted to remove the driver side air dam section just leaving the center section and you wouldn't notice anything unusual.

Thanks.

At least one of the forum vendors carries those air dam pieces- most of them probably do. They tend to get beat up over time anyway. Since you need to get a new splitter you may as well order the air dam pieces at the same time. Sorry, but I've never looked closely at how they attach so I can't help you there.

i think it's only three clips which hold each pc.

Thanks. The problem is that the mounting bracket for the air dam was pushed up about 1.5 inches on the passenger side by the center attachment point - I removed the plastic air dam and it is fine. I have it on a lift and am going to try to pull the bracket back down but I can't see what is up there because the valence seals it up pretty tightly. Not sure if I need to get a repair shop involved - just trying to figure out if there are any critical components up in there.

It's easy to take the fender liner off and you will be able to see everything (wheel off makes it much easier). It comes off using a small torx socket. The brake cooling duct and wiring for the lights is on the outer portion, then there is a metal brace and the horns are mounted inborn of the brace. If the part that is pushed up is just forward of the air dam then there really isn't much there unless it is inboard enough to get to the plastic blocker that is at the outer side of the grill opening on either side. Hopefully you didn't get anything pushed up in the the lights.

Great feedback. I was able to open the brake ductwork and get to the bent bracket - exactly what you said next to the horn. Relatively easy to bend back using a lift. Thanks again!

I put 4" brake ducts from the side of the grill thru into that area and connected the ducting to the factory ducts with the first 3" cut off. I had to relocate the horn to the outer side of that bracket, so I've been in there before.

I'm glad that all worked out for you.
