I removed my side air dams when installing stage 3 - should it go back on?

I will be tracking my car in 2 days. Should I remove the air dam?

My car is a 2016 Z06 (Non Z07)

my 2017-c7 z06 has the side pieces and the center piece. It’s a 2lz non z07 m7 stage 1 aero

Old thread but very informative. I just purchased a new to me C7 Z51 and there was no center section. I thought it might have been damaged by the PO and was looking to order the piece. Good to know everything is the way it's supposed to be.

I also got a new to me Z51 C7 from Carvana and I looked under the car while it was still on the hauler and the center piece of the air dam was not there. So I pointed it out to the driver and he reported it to Carvana and they had it replaced for me under warranty. I asked about it on here and found out it wasn’t needed on the Z51. So now if it gets damaged I can just remove it and forget about it.
