Default ? Air damn removal

Is there any major reason I can't remove the ugly air dams under the front of my stingray?

Nope, they are to help if you are running high speeds on the track.I only had the 2 side air dams but I took both of them off when I added the splitter.

Hello Elmer. The two air dams the you removed, do you happen to have the GM part number. I lost mine, and purchased a new set from the local Chevy dealer. but the holes don't seem to line up The outer hole and middle hole are OK, but the the dam doesn't seem to be long enough to reach the inner most hole. The P/N I purchased was 84308943, it contained a right and left.

The 2 pieces went our with the trash, sorry. No part numbers to give you. Check with a sponsor on here: Cultrag They are pretty good at the parts.

They left my control in 2014, probably 40' or 50' under by now.
