Default skid plate wheels for front end?

hello to all-glad to be here. it's taken me 40 years to own a vette- a true american dream come true! And she's a beauty-an 05 precision red with only 7500 miles. My wife is already complaining that I have traded her in! As careful as i have been, I scraped the underside of nose pulling into parking spot- only fine scratches with no real depth. what is best to buff out scratches? do the skid plate wheels that wcc, ecklers, zip, etc. sell keep this from happening? thanks.

I don't have them but have read on this forum that they attach to the bottom of the radiator support and you may risk fracturing the support which is an expensive fix.
