If your 1997-2004 Corvette has been involved in a mishap with a parking block or curb your C5's Front Skid Plate has likely suffered damage. General Motors originally outfitted the 1997-2004 Corvette with these Front Skid Plates to provide structural support and form to the Corvette's front fascia as well to protect the front fascia and lower radiator from bottoming out. Now you can easily restore the front end structure and protective features of you C5 Corvette while eliminating your crooked or distorted front fascia and spoiler.
