The plastic air dam is cosmetic only. It does little to nothing for air flow. Just look at the flat grill, and windshield. Do you think it was designed for NASCAR?

Take it off.

My vote is to take it off. I removed mine last week and replaced front bumper with a Hanson stubby stinger. During the removal I realized yet again how much plastic Jeep loves to put into their bumpers. I'm sure it's great in the wind tunnel but after two full tanks of gas I don't see a significant difference in my MPG. Good luck.
