I personally would leave them on. Not sure what splitter you installed. I put the poverty splitter on mine and just left the air dams on the car.

Joking aside, that does not sound right. I installed mine, have helped 2 buddies install theirs, never ran into a no fit issue. Only left mine off by choice, fit was perfect. Who made your splitter? Sounds like it's not properly sitting in place? And yes, you can just install the center
