Default C5 build sheets

Does any one know if there is a way to get to the C5 original build sheet that is placed inside the front rail passenger side without dismantling he entire front nose of the car? I think this is a GM dirty trick.Ha

I grabbed mine back when I installed my tigershark nose. You 100% must have the facia off because the foam absorber has end caps that cover the open ends of the front crash bar part of the frame, and this is where the build sheet is.

Cobra4B beat me to posting pictures and is correct, your build sheet even has the tape folded over exactly like mine.

Hey Dave, when you post your email address in a public forum, don't use the @ sign. Use the word "at" instead. This will keep spam bots from harvesting your email address and sending you email about enlarging your pecker and Doberman's humping your next door neighbor. Just an FYI from a computer guru who knows. See above where I edited your post.

Only takes 15-20 minutes to get the front fascia off and you can clean up in there at the same time. Collects a lot of JUNK up there behind the fascia.

The info about using "at" instead of @ is good to know. It's nice to learn something new every day! Especially since I keep forgetting the stuff I used to know
