The crescent shaped piece of sheet metal that supports the bottom edge of the bumper cover so it’s not all floppy. I took mine off and it looks like a road-kill rattlesnake. I could straighten it but it’s so rusted it will probably break. Does anyone have a practical replacement idea? (Besides getting a replacement from a dealer. That’s no fun.)
 
Take a piece of Sheet Metal, cut and bend to mate up.

Takes about half an hour. Problem solved. You only need to pay for the metal (or find some ;) )
 
I’m trying to think of something that is rigid enough to serve the shape retaining purpose but flexible enough to, um, flex for those occasional curb location judgment errors.

Wret, how many rattlesnakes have you compared it to? Post a pic.

I went to school in Nebraska. That makes me an expert on rattlesnakes. Please, don't insult the snakes. They haven't hurt you...yet. Sssssssssssss.

That's what it looks like.
I've got my eye on some 1/4 inch polyethylene sheet in the scrap heap at work.
