Ok, so are the little flimsy rubber pieces supposed to be on for daily driving or off for daily driving? On, correct? (that's what I think I've seen in other threads).. Mine were never installed and I'll probably just leave them off (the 4 channel pieces are in though)

The manual's picture and description aren't the greatest.

American steel, gotta love it. Great fix to an unsightly sag!

They're supposed to be on for better fuel economy, although I have my doubts on how much better that is. The 4 channel pieces should be there for guiding air to the brakes.

What is the purpose of them? Don't they say to take them off if you're going to take the car to the track? I would think that means if you want more performance/handling, take them off and leave them off.

These little deflector joints are not on my car, and didn't come with it. Did the dealer lose them or something??? Did all 2017 ZL1s come with them?

They were in my trunk along with my front license plate bracket from the factory

Damnit. I got excited for a second As I placed the bag my front plate bracket came on aside and sorta forgot about it. Just checked it....not in there. Guess I have to email my sales guy as I bought the car out of town. They already had to send me the battery charger they also forgot!
