How Do I Remove The Front Air Dam ? How Do I Remove The Front Air Dam ? Is There Somewhere To Hook A Tow Rope ? & No I Cant Just Look.. (curious? ask in personal email)..lol THANKS! LPU Z28 |
Re: How Do I Remove The Front Air Dam ? There are 6 ( IIRC ) 10 MM bolts holding it to the lower rad support. I hope if you're tow-strapping it you don't tear up the chin or bumper! Good luck |
Re: How Do I Remove The Front Air Dam ? There are two places for a hook under each side of the front end. The holes are a little elongated but you will see them and they will clear your plastic. |

I parked my Z in the backyard for a couple days..was watering the lawn..hole in hose saturated the ground & IT SUNK! 3 tires were nearly 7 inches in the ground! I gave up digging and bought a 5650Lb Tow Rope/17000Lb BreakStrength-wrapped it around the upper frame/by the radiator I guess & to my Pathfinder. Put the Pathfinder in 4LO & she popped right out! Thanks again! |

Re: How Do I Remove The Front Air Dam ? Glad you got it out, but if it ever happens again I wouldn't hook it to that upper radiator support bar, its just a hollow thin piece of sheet metal! I would've taken out a signal light and went for one of the factory tie down holes, or take out the grille and wrap it around the K member and feed the strap through the bumper. There's a lot more strength in those areas. |

Re: How Do I Remove The Front Air Dam ? after removing it send it to me, the previous owner cut mine down to less than an inch in length. Basically too short to do it's job. I can only manage short trips at highway speed before the temp starts to climb to the point of overheating. If you arn't going to ship it to me make sure to keep it so you can put it back on when you're finished with whatever u need to take it off for. You probably already know this but our cars are bottom feeders, the way they get proper airflow through the rad at highway speeds is due to the air deflector which forces air upward from under the front of the car and through the rad. Sure probably won't ever notice it if you only drive around town in stop and go traffic, but it's defently needed for extended driving at high speeds since it is the only way to get airflow through the rad. (Cooling fans are useless at highway speed) |

Re: How Do I Remove The Front Air Dam ? Yes, they are really easy to take off. If you need a replacement we have new original GM pieces available on our site for $37.95. Here's a link if you're interested. http://thirdgenranch.com/-strse-958/...air/Detail.bok |
