broke something, whats it called?

I was putting the atv in the back of the truck. I normally pull up to a snow bank or curb to raise the front end of the truck so the ramps aren't so steep. When backing off of the snow bank, I ripped off the lower plastic piece on the bottom of the front bumper, as well as the license plate bracket. But what is the plastic piece called?

I've always heard it called an air dam.

It's my pot and I'll stir it if I want to. If you're not careful, I'll stir your's as well!

You mean the black thing-a-ma-jig.

I know it as an air dam. Ripped mine off in mud one day and left it off for over a year. It was easy to reinstall it once I tried.

I'd give you my valance if you'd volunteer to remove it and I wouldn't bother replacing it if it fell off. Looks better without, IMO.
