Default Front Bumper?

Since I am new to Corvettes I am not sure of the proper names for some parts. The front of my vette is damaged and it looks like I will need what I call a bumper. I checked Wilcox Corvette and they have parts but I am not sure what to order. Can someone please tell me what I need. Again it is the very end of the hood that has met some unfortunate solid object and cracked this piece and I want to replace it as it looks horrible. I have had the car a week. Thanks.

Does it look something like this?



It is the bumper cover. It's just a urethane cover. What year is your car?

would it be possible to elaborate on the damage...and what year corvette you have makes a big difference and there are 3 different "bumper" models out there depending on year...68-72, 74-79, and 80-82. If you have a late model c3, most vendors call it a bumper cover. you will need that, all of the mounting hardware if necessary, side marker lights etc it broken. You also have a few options material wise regarding, OEM urethane, flex-fit, or fiberglass. Hope that helps.

Is it the chrome bumper or the painted fiberglass that's damaged? Any chance of seeing a picture? That would help get you some answers and perhaps some advice, too.

PS: Never spoken with an Archaeologist before. There are some Corvettes around that look like they've been buried for a while.
