Default Bumper tab. Fixable?
I’m sure a good body shop or even myself can fix this? Finding a Silver Z06 bumper is few and far between and I’d prefer an OEM. Figured I may be able to save a little by fixing this.

A good body shop can repair and re-chrome

You might get a better response under the Paint/Body section under General Corvette Topics. Although that portion could be repaired, I wonder if it will have the strength to hold the bumper bolted to the fender without breaking again.

. Evidently driving composite plastic bumper cars with chrome wheels. (Now that should start the debate about Chrome or Black wheels).

It's repairable, but I think most body shops would recommend replacing the bumper based on structural integrity.
