Front Air Dam
The vehicle is equipped with a front air dam which has
minimal ground clearance.
Vehicles with the ZR-1 package also come with a
splitter made from carbon fiber.
{
WARNING:
The splitter in the ZR1 is made from carbon fiber.
When damaged, the exposed edges can be very
sharp. A person could be injured by these sharp
edges. Use caution when washing the vehicle,
coming in contact with, or removing damaged
carbon fiber parts. See your dealer/retailer for
replacement.
Under normal operation, these components will
occasionally contact some road surfaces (speed
bumps, driveway ramps, etc.). This can be heard inside
the vehicle as a scraping noise. This is normal and
does not indicate a problem.
Use care when approaching bumps or objects on road
surfaces and avoid them when possible.
