front air dam removal? Hey guys and gals, I've lowered my Vette a couple of inches and the only clearance problem I have is with that dang air dam on the underside of the front of the car. I want to remove the entire thing, but as usual, I want the opinions of the "pros". LMK...Thanks

Well it's not hard to remove it and drive around to test temps. Let it warm up, blast around the block 5 times or whatever, and check your coolant temp on your digital display. That's what I did. It never passed 225 degrees on hard romps, so I left the thing off.
Some people trim an inch or two off as well. That way they still have something directing air.

I lowered my car 3 1/2 inches,i cut the air damn in half,(from side to side),took off the side pieces,no problems,and it's always hot here,it still scraps as it's about a 1/2" off the ground,but it's also on a hinge,so it rolls back when plowing stuff,i still have my origanal one there after 4 years of abuse.
