Splitter damage
I have had my 2021 Camaro 2SS1LE exactly two days and I've managed to slightly damage the center of the front splitter. My question is, do they (anybody) make a bra that fits over the front splitter for a 6th gen 1LE? The damage is minor but noticeable if you are standing directly in front of my car. I think it happened on a curb stone that I carelessly parked at. I thought it might have been my driveway which is sharply curved down at the base but I don't think I would have damaged the top of the splitter which is where the damage is.

You could have paint protection film applied to it. But that will only prevent minor scratches and scuffs. If you hit a parking curb with it the PPF will likely not prevent any major damage.
I'd suggest you order a new GM front splitter while parts are still available. If anything just to hold onto incase yours ever gets damaged even more. I ordered a spare one for mine through the chevy accessories site. Part number is 84486681 and it's already painted the satin black to match the 1LE color. Once the Camaro production is done I am betting it will become much more difficult to source a new GM front splitter.

Manufacturing makes parts for about 7 years when a model is discontinued. You cN get one when you need

If you want to go crazy, you can install a front parking camera...

What do you mean by "slight damage?"
if it is a crack or bigger damage hopefully you saved all the pieces. The splitter is ABS and can be glued with IPS weld-on #16, which can be purchased through amazon. Unless you severely chipped paint, you can get a pretty close to "new" look without spending hundreds on the full splitter. |

Ive damaged an airdam before and repaired it with with spray on undercoating. I've not yet damaged a splitter like these on any of my cars that had it though. Unfortunately you can get in to a replacement really easily.

If this is your first car with a splitter? You just got to stay conscious of it, go over bumps or dips at an angle. If its really steep even a 45 degree angle to meet it with your front tire first not the splitter. Also, I never park within 1-2 ft of a parking curb. You don't need to pull all the way in parking spots are long enough for trucks its fine.
