Default 1978 front bumper

Good evening,

I am am new to corvettes and just bought a 1978 silver anniversary auto with a L82. I notice that the brace at the bottom of the front bumper was very rusted. I want to replace it but I am not sure what it is named. Can anyone help?

Thanks for your help.

Are they the L brackets at either end that support the fenders or the center brace that supports the spoiler/air dam?

Or, something different?

Thanks for the help. After some more research I believe it is the front bumper reinforcement lower.

Thanks
