Either you don't understand, or you don't want to accept what everyone has told you. So move on to, "Digital Corvettes.com,"-"Corvette Action Center.com," or call Bowling Green, and see if they will send you a page from the assembly manual.

After just removing my front bumper to install the reinforcement for the front spoiler I have to admit that ALL the pictures shown appear to be accurate... I dont see where the confusion is nor understand where it began. I looked at them before I set off to remove it and found them to accurately reflect at what needed to be done.
With that said, I did however come across an issue with the brake ducts and how I broke the thin area the bumper forks into them which serve to hold the brake duct leading edge into place. I did not take pictures but, for anyone who attempts this, please make sure you slide your brake ducts out from the bumper forks... I broke the passengers side... I was able to get everything back together and It does appear to be holding itself in place though.
All in all it was fairly easy and I could do it again much quicker without damaging anything...
Now I'm looking for a new drivers side brake duct.
