So, I ended up on a street with some construction the other night and there was a big step up where they were replacing the asphalt. By the time I saw it, it was too late to avoid it. It was big enough that both of the front wheel well air dams caught the step and broke off.

Where can I find replacement air dams? I need both left and right. I've done a few google searches and surfed the sites of some different Viper parts dealers, but not found any for sale. In case, I'm not explaining well what part I'm looking for I've included a pic. The air dam is circled in red. The pic is from the front of the car and is the front driver-side wheel.

If the part isn't for sale anymore, I'd be interested in the name of anyone who could make replacements. I was thinking about contacting Doug Shelby Engineering to see if he would make me some. I'd be willing to order a few since I'm sure this won't be the last set I break. I've seen them broken on other Gen V and it looks like Dodge expected them to be replaced often since it's easy to install them.

Thanks for the help.

Sounds like you can sell them to him then.

Ha. I was really hoping Sniper still had his. When I got the car, I thought I should take them off before I brake them. LOL. I have an obsession with trying to keep things original. Ya, Jonb is on my list of people to contact. Thanks for the posts.

I believe the Gen 5 are the same part as the Gen 4.
Here is the Gen 4 part number that includes both left and right side of the part you are looking for, plus the center piece. Still available from the dealer, Rock Auto etc. for about $20.

I am pretty sure cars with Aero, ie. Cars with Advanced Aero package, TA 1.0, TA 2.0, ACR, and ACR-E are NOT supposed to have them from the factory. Some cars came through with them but that would technically be incorrect. My ACR-E does not have them and never did. My TA 2.0 never had them, My GTS with advanced Aero never had them.

I bought a sheet of Lexan from Lowes and made six on a band saw. They are actually more durable.
