Drove up the street to the nearest gas station to check the air dam. The air dam goes from the front bumper to just under the car. Tore the holes out that were poked through on the under side. Worst still, my hubcaps came off the front! They were nice and aero from the factory so I'm bummed. I'll fix the damage underneath easily enough tomorrow. Will have to order new hubcaps or perhaps this is my cue to get moon dish. Will post up pics soon. > : (

Sorry to hear about your loss.I too am a member of the 'it turned from aerodynamics into hydrodynamics' club!
I've yet to restore the diffuser ripped off the truck at walking speed in a 'lake.'
Don't lose heart.There are many misadventures awaiting you.Welcome to the 'club'!
