Default C8 Z06 Canard Replacement (Z07 pkg)

Hello!

New member hoping for some advice. Unfortunately, caught my driver side canard on the garage door and the upper 2 tabs broke. Does anyone know if these are replaceable without removing the front bumper? They were factory installed. Any ideas for other potential fixes?

Thanks!

Bumper has to come off - no other way. They are held in place with clips on the inside of the bumper. Next time try posting in the ZO6 section for faster / better response.

i had to remove bumper but since you aren’t cutting I have heard of people doing this without taking off front bumper I just don’t see how. Maybe someone who has installed the canards without removing bumper can chime in? I didn’t think it was possible either but people have claimed to have done it.

Hopefully someone will chime in! I’ve watched a bunch of YouTube videos hoping to see how accessible the side areas of the bumper are if you just remove the undercarriage protection plates (or whatever they are called) but haven’t seen one that gives a good view of that.
