Air Dams in Front of Tires

When I bought my car it was missing the air dams in front of the front wheels. Not broken off, just missing completely.
Bought these, p/n 68047956AB (QTY 1 gets you both sides and some long piece which I don’t know where it goes), and put them on the other day.

Leaving my driveway, scrape. Got gas, left station, scrape.

Took them back off next day. Previous owner had it right haha. Car is lowered with caps which didn’t help.

If memory serves the air dams were only supposed to be put on non-aero cars.  Cars with aero were not supposed to get them.  However, the factory made lots of mistakes on this.  At least I think that was the case.

Yea I believe that is correct. I have a no aero GTS so it should have had them, hence I put them on. But they lasted one cruise. I think based on the fact there were no broken pieces, screws were tight and flush, they were either never installed at factory or removed by previous owner.
For factory oopsies, I am also in the group of many 13’s that shipped without the rear brake duct hose ends. I’ve since added those as well without issue. Much nicer than a bare hose hanging in my wheel well.

Yea, you got to wonder how things like missing air dams or missing brake hose ends make it through quality control.

I recall reading some time age that when the 2013 were being built the rear brake hose ends were not available due to no parts. The air dams are on my 2013 that was purchased new. I do not believe this to be a quality control thing, but then again who really knows for sure.

I sent my TA calipers to Racing Brakes to have them rebuilt using their high temp seals and such.  They told me that I had 3 front calipers and 1 rear.  They said they had no other Viper calipers in their shop so there was no mix up.  In addition, TA calipers are gray anodized, most other Viper calipers are red.  Now how does it happen that my car did not get 2 fronts and 2 rears?
