A little Stage 1 to Stage 3 aero help
I bought the following:
- Side Skirts
- Front Splitter
- Front winglets
- Rear wing end pieces and wickerbill
So quick questions. Do I still need the deflector for under the front splitter (pictured below). And do I need to order 4 screws for the wicker bill, part #23155297. And finally is that part # for 1 screw or 4.

You should have gotten the 4 longer screws with the wickerbill, and I would leave the deflectors on. You really do not need the tray under the splitter.

the winglets came with the screws,i bought them from this vender,did not buy the stage 3.you will have enough for the center section,use your stock screws to attach the new winglets,and the screws that come with the new winglets for the center section.

I doubt GM put in on for that so I suspect it also provides an aerodynamic improvement by covering the hole behind the splitter and reducing turbulence under the car. Automakers are not in the habit of installing parts that provide no function other than for style. The undertray can only be seen if the car runs over you.

The undertray adds some strength to the splitter and helps protect it from damage when crossing various things it couls catch or rub on.
