The corner of the front fender is sticking up...had a shop look at it and they told me its a clip thats broken...its not really noticeable to most but to me it sticks out like a sore thumb...any repair tips?...buying a whole new fender is super expensive for something so minor...
There is a connector under each side that the tabs on the bumper attach too. Sometimes the bolts become loose if the bumper is removed and not checked/tightened afterwards. So the only way to know for sure is to remove the bumper and check. If the tabs on bumper are broken a new bumper is needed. Hopefully it is an easy fix.
Hi, go to the link I put together a few years about about replacing a Stingray grill with a Z06 grill. There you will see pictures of the tabs, how to access the 2 bolts on the bracket, etc. I'll guess that the tab(s) aren't broken but just came loose. You'll see what I mean when you look at the pics. You'll figure it out - best, Paul

Hopefully nothing is broken...had it cammed a few months back so hopefully the extra shaking made the bolt loose and not broken clips...

Even if the tab is broken, it will be an easy fix to repair the broken tabs.
You do not need a new bumper.
Here's a video on how to fix broken bumper tabs.
Just make sure you only use 1 layer of paper so it is not too thick.
And be careful not to drip the super glue over the bumper.
I've done this on several of my cars and it works great.
