Default What is this called?

In the January issue of Corvette Magazine there are pictures of various C5 Vettes on page 75 and 77.

Protruding under the front bumper of each car is a part that resembles an XXXX large hockey puck.

What is this called?

I have looked through the manual and cannot find a reference.
