Guessing the lower (they seem to get whacked more often than not)...

Dig around - perhaps you could find used or new from somewhere else. It's almost a given though: if it's new or straight, it's going to be costly.

HTH!

I have bought these and actually cannot tell the difference. Plus they come with the needed nut certs that the GM does not have . 2013/05 corvette front radiator support skid bar NEW C6 20939829 06 07 | eBay

This is the most expensive option, but OPGI has them as well

the aftermarket ones are actually the same supplier as the oem but some people like to pay double price.

I've busted mine twice. First time I took it to the local Caddy dealer: $2200! Second time I took it to my local highly-trusted and excellent general repair shop. He had a good aluminum welder who simply welded everything back in place: $200. Check around and see if you can find someone equivalent. And after the second event, I went to Cartoys and got a proximity warning sensor for the front bumper. Works great. No more bashed curbs.

just keep in mind it is a sacrificial item. It is made to bend or break to protect other items like the frame rails that you do not want to have to replace. They have very good aftermarket ones for 150$ now on ebay . they sell hundreds a month . if you buy one make sure it comes with the nut certs in it. that will save having to look for them and have them installed .any body shop can install it for 2.5 hours . You can do it in about 1/2 that but that is the labor charge at 50-75$ an hour. Avoid the service dept like the plague on something like this .
