So far mine are doing well.
...they are quite literally right in front of the tires. If you look closely at the angle of approach required to hit them straight-on, you'd have already torn off the front facia.
It's kinda neat, because of the angular shape of the front of the Camaro, driving at an angle allows for a much steeper approach than most other low cars.
(and yes....
...I have scraped once or twice...)
EDIT: But to answer your original question: Yes, they are functional. They divert air around the tires to help improve high-speed stability.
