Sorry to hear that. I guess I've just been lucky.

The car will not miss it, and your mileage isn't either....enjoy the ride.
My 2016 Z06 does have the center piece and yes, speed the car is driven is the main factor in determining the need to replace it. It prevents the car from lifting under high speeds.
