Butt end!
Can someone tell me if there is a fix for the bottom of the butt end of 2001 which is slightly curling. This is the area around the vent slits. I noticed one side of my car was doing this when I last washed it.

ACI originated these bumper reinforcements. Go to http://acivette.com/ and in their 97-04 fiberglass link of the online catalog, look at the bottom of the ground effects and accessories section. I have them and they work very well.

What is the method of installation on these reinforcements? They look really good!

Put a bit of adhesive on them and then just snap them into place. Takes just a few minutes. I put mine in a month after I bought the car over three years ago. They were already starting to sag a bit.

I'm going to have to check mine and see if it's doing what the image is showing. Does this happen to everyone or only a few C5s? Will the reinforcements fix ones that are already sagging?
