Old member, I'm back!

[carol w]

My C5 is bottoming out at the bottom of my driveway which causes damage to the underside of my bumper (ouch). It's clear that I need some sort of rubber curb bumper to prevent this but I don't know where to find them. The ones that I've been able to google are either too expensive or the delivery charge is triple the cost of the item. I live in Toronto, Ontario. Does anyone know where I can find one locally?

I did a quick search and all I could find is this one on Amazon.ca Heavy Duty Rubber Threshold Ramp for about $350.

Carol, before you spend any money on this talk with the officials in Toronto. A lot of places will not let you put these "curb assists" in. Maybe they can do something for you.

I have been thinking about these little wheels for a while and wondering if they would do the trick. Where do they attach to the car?

Thanks! I never would have thought of that.

I love this and they would be perfect I think. Unfortunately I’d need two at $350 each with a $250 delivery charge. Too much money.

Lots of people in Alberta just lay two pieces of 2 x 6 in the gutter. Gives just enough height transition reduction for the tires that the splitter doesn't scuff....

Hi Carol,

At TCS or is it TSC? you can buy a horse cow mat for around $50-$75. its about 1/2" thick and comes in sheets of 4 ft x 6ft go have a look at that and see if it will work, i use it at work and its really tough.
You can cut it with a sharp knife.
Hope that's of some help

They attach under the front bumper

Thanks for this info. I live in Toronto, Ontario, Canada and I'm not sure what TCS is. I'm assuming it's a store where farmers shop so I'll try to find one of those. It's a good reason to take the Vette for a long drive to farm country on a beautiful day!

They attach under the front bumperView attachment 17526

Do they attach to pre drilled holes?

 

[Z16Jim]

I am not sure how they attach Carol.
