If it is what I think you are talking about its an air damn and it also keeps rocks, dirt, and trash out from your engine. I would personally replace this if it was my car.

sciontc_mich

it's necessary.. they aren't that expensive to replace.. like $50 or so.. and if you don't have it.. toyota_scion_tc is exactly right.. rocks will come up and smack into your engine NOT A GOOD THING.. so replace the plastic, you will be thanking me in the future

its not $50 the dealer wanted to charge me 350 for it

I can confirm this too, its not $50 its around the $322 area because my passenger side one came out while i was driving

its super easy to install once u got the whole peice in your hadn . mine dragged across the highway fro about 75 miles at 110mph until it ripped off

sciontc_mich

so its called an air dam?

azepolyn

i took the airdamn off my old cavalier and I traded it in with a fuel injection leak and a leak in my radiator hose somewhere. no idea if its all related, or if its cus I just didnt take care of the old peice.
