All that said though, what is your take on those outer deflector tire dams? On or off?

Would you recommend leaving 84669205 on all the time, or do you see a significant concern for water ingress if caught in some water or driving through an inadvertent puddle from sprinkler systems, etc.?
It would depend on application. As a DD, likely not because as you mention water intrusion from rain and puddles. For warm days and track, heck yea! The cooling potential from 8466205 is definitely intriguing. I'm interested in feedback from those who run it.

My outboard dams are on. They have protected my splitter from minor scraping. I'm certain that there is some high speed function/influence, or the engineers would not have designed/installed them.

In my case, the outboard dams don't protect the curved deflectors, mine have been nicked a couple of times. Center dam under the splitter has scraped a couple of times as well. Fortunately, my splitter is still clean. I am at 3/4 front ride height most of the time.
