Default GOT FANGS? Protect your lower radiator support!

Hi Everyone!

C5 or C6 Fangs $49.99 Includes free shipping to the lower 48 and Hawaii!

Here is why you should install Fangs on your C5 or C6 Corvette. Fangs are extremely impact resistant and 6 times more abrasion resistant than steel. Fangs eliminate the friction that causes breakage of the Front Side Plates/Lower Radiator Support, especially on the aluminum C6 support. Installation only takes a few minutes. Being only 1/8" thick you will not even notice any ground clearance loss. Fangs give you complete front to back protection so no matter where you scrape your skid bar you are protected. If you scrape, there is none of that horrible metal noise. If you accidentally bump up on a parking curb you will slide smoothly up and smoothly back when you reverse. When you consider that it cost around $600 to replace the Skid plate/Lower radiator support, Fangs are a small price to pay to reduce the chance of damaging or breaking your Lower Radiator/ Skid Plate. Fangs are the best Lower Radiator/ Skid Plate protection available!

Here are some benefits of installing Fangs:

1. No noticeable ground clearance loss.
2. Allows your skid plates to slide instead of denting or getting scraped up.
3. Helps prevent breakage of the lower radiator support, especially on the C6 with its aluminum Support that is prone to breakage.
4. Beautifies skid plates that are already scraped up and keeps them looking good.
5. Protects the whole skid plate not just part of it.
6. Keeps impact centered on the skid plate where it is strongest so there is no side loading of the skid plate where it is weak.
7. No more scraping sound when you do scrape.
8. Only weigh 5 ounces for you weight conscious Vette owners.
9. Simple 15 minute install.
10. No modification required for the C5 installation.
11. C6 only requires 4 small holes to install. Drill bit is supplied.
12. Customer Satisfaction warranty!
13. The very best protection available!

Just placed an order for a set, based on all the good feedback I am seeing. Plan to install them while I am under the nose doing an A&A kit.

Your site is a bit of a problem to access from a web-sense protected network (USAF web admins at their finest), let me know if there is any issue with my order, same name as user name here.

Hi Ian,

Your order went through on problem, thank you! So does the A&A kit lower the radiator support? If so we can send you Fangs that are a little longer on the front to help get them tucked into the bumper cover. Other wise the front might hang below the bumper cover, they will still work but won't look as good. Let me know.

Darn good question, and from the instructions I do see spacers for the radiator cradle. Not sure how much longer the Fangs would need to be to be covered by the fascia.

Hi Ian,
The max length we can go is about 1 or so longer over the standard Fangs. I think thats all you need. We have another customer that has the A&A kit, he has standard Fangs and says they are about 1/4" below the bumper cover you cant even notice. But give us t 3-4 days and we will send you a pair the are a little longer for a more perfect fit.

I just ordered a set of fangs about a month ago. I have not installed them yet but was planning to when I do my oil change.

I also have an A&A kit and was unaware that I would need longer fangs for a proper fit.

Hi Sinister-Z,
The standard Fangs fit but they might not fit all the way up into the body because the radiator support is lowered with the A&A kit.
So we do have some Fangs that we made about 1" longer on the front so they fit better. We just recently found this out. If you got standard Fangs we will be happy to exchange them for the longer ones.

Just ordered a set too. I asked in the special instructions to seller to make mine longer for my A&A kit, is that all I need to do to get them special made?
Thanks, Steve

Okay. Sounds good. Should I just mail them back with a note specifying an exchange for the A&A Fangs?

What address should I send them to?

Thanks.
