Front skid plate
The right front skid plate is lower than the left side skid plate,I think this may be caused by my driveway apron being high and may have caused damage to the radiator cradle. Does anyone have any knowledge of this problem and how to repair this issue?

It's the radiator support, you can unbolt and replace it, quite a few vendors sell them, search on C5 radiator support.

Mine is messed up, too. Anyone ever changed it or know how bad of a job it is? I haven't really looked... but from that pic on Zip's website, looks simple enough.

Here is a file that shows the process for removing and replacing the lower radiator support. Hope it helps.
