APO is American Post Office. Usually a military base, should be all the same to the shipper as regular mail, especially for something fairly light. However, worth double checking.

Simply mount two skateboard wheels with sealed bearings with a stainless bolt to each side of skid bar. All you have to do is drill one hole for each side.
Four wheels work better than two.

I got the black fangs on on my 2001 Quicksilver Coupe. You can't even tell they are on the car. They have worked great for me. I would highly recomend them.

I only wish all aftermarket products fit as well and looked as good as these Fangs. One of the best things I've ever purchased for the Vette.

Merry Christmas!
Here you go! C5 and C6 Holiday sale!
And if you have a C6, the new updated C6 Fangs no longer need any holes drilled. Check out the C6 installation video on our C6 Fangs page.

I've beat the hell out of my fangs, and have been so impressed that I bought another set for my dad.

I prefer the Black Fangs. They protect the lower Radiator support arms effectively and keep the front end looking Factory.

The Fatdaddy and similar products require you to drill a hole in the support arms for installation. Any Structural Engineer will tell you that drilling holes in the support arms will have a negative effect of the arms intended strength.

Christian at saccitycorvette is an awesome forum vendor and will treat you right.

I like the product so much, I just bought a set for My Dad's C5 for Christmas

I put fangs on my coupe but so far haven't had them hit anything. I am sure the time is coming. They cover the scrapes that the previous owner left me.

Small price to pay to protect such an expensive part of your Corvette!

I've had the Fangs on a little over a year now and they get used EVERY time I go up and down the driveway. They might be plastic but they are tough sobs. Mine hardly looked scratched, you really have to look.

Very happy with the product and they were very easy to install

Another vote for Fangs. No drilling holes for me.

Got mine in Black, like my Vette.
