Default Frame Savers for a C4


Has anyone fabricated a C4 version of A&A Corvette Specialties Frame Savers? I'm tired of my vette's nose dragging with I turn into my drive way. They don't seem to complicated to reproduce.

Uh we dont need those really. They do sell metal covers to prtect the bumper cover underneath by the frame. But nothing besides careful diving or raising your vette is going to save the nose. Besides they look ridiculous.

Uh, no but I may be interested in the rocker rails......for my Jeep. Figured I'd use that for off road rock-hopping instead of the vette. :rolleyes:
