As Cobra4B said - "bumpers" are integrated into the front and rear fascia.

FWIW don't feel bad, i still haven't found the spare tire. On the serious side probably ought to check and see if you have a lug lock key. There may be a lock nut on each wheel and the keys seem to get lost pretty easy. Not really to worry though if you have to go to a tire shop they will be able to get it off.

Stingray......Now THATS what I'm talkin about !!
I long for the good ol days where men were men and cars were cars,
sixteeth inch steel body with bumbers that stuck out to here.
I haven't registered my car yet and had it sitting for about 4 days. I started it and backed out the garage. Turned off the motor. Tried to start it again and it would not start. Machine gun like clicking noise from the starter. I tried to push the car back into the garage and it was like squeezing a empty plastic coke bottle. Could not push the car so I jumped started it and got it back in the garage. The battery looks new but I will check the date.
What is the textbook way for 1,2, 3 guys to push a corvette with no bumpers. Could not find it in the owner's manuel.

Bigc.....The battery is an AC Delco; it looks new but I have to check the date.I was told there is a date on the battery but I'm not sure where this date is located; I'll have to look.
When you pushed it by yourself, what part of the car were your hands on when you pushed it ? There were 2 other guys and me pushing and we could not move it (very slight upgrade); the hand brake was off and the shifter was in neutral.
Although very early in my ownership, the car appears flimsey, tempermental, high maintenance and a pain in the a@#. Hopefully the pluses will outweigh the minuses. Spring/summer/fall will tell the tale.
