removing bottom bumper black plastic "pieces"??

newls196 · 03-14-2016, 06:01 PM

Hi everyone, quick question: on the very bottom of my bumper there are black plastic "skirt" type pieces that everytime i leave and enter my driveway, i scrape on the concrete a little and its pissing me off very much! I was hoping i can take those little pieces off with no ill effect to cooling????? was thinking that maybe its like my camaro i had and those piece deflect air up and onto needed rad, p/s cooler, etc..??? Thanks

**EDIT** here is what im talking about sir, can i remove at least to 2 side pieces.... the center piece is NOT hitting the concrete, just the 2 side pieces..

cooling? u referring to the air deflectors for the sport package? if so they are for zero lift.

The lower air deflectors can be removed without any issues.

Do you drive in straight on at an angle?

You need some ramps.

those would be the answer for sure. where did you find those?

Search for curb ramps. This is one of several options. Probably one of the better ones.
