Front air dam partially separated on a C7 front air dam. Any easy fixes?

The air dams, which are located under the front of the Stingray, are made from a flexible material. There are two separate curves pieces near the front of the tires, which are held by three screws each, and a straight piece in the middle (unless Z51) that is attached with larger screws/bolts. If they are not torned, then yes, you should be able to reattach them...

Mine tore. I removed them three years ago. No effect on the car at speeds below 150.

Is this the same thing as an impact strip. Mine tire after a week 2017 LT1

The strip in the center is ripped at the crease line near the top on one side and tried super adhesive and black silicone but the slightest scraping makes it come loose so looking for a more permanent fix such as plastic angle 90 degree attachment maybe drill some small holes for screwing on from behind? Any other ideas?

It's called an air dam, not an impact strip. They are designed to provide down force at speeds over 150. They scrape on everything.

If you are going to be driving over 150mph then replace them. If not just remove them. They serve no other purpose and will continue to tear with normal use.

Wonder why the factory didn't engineer them with a spring mechanism?

Just Googled, $48 dollars for a replacement from Vette Vendor! Buy a new one. They are designed to be inexpensive and replaceable. AllI even did with my C6 Z51 in 6 years was sand off the bottom edge a few times. And I even hit the skid pads that are a foot further back!

Whatever you hit if you went a bit further you'd hit that skid pad assembly (shown in the above post) that is much more expensive and harder to replace!
