As the title states, scraped the underside of my 2017 ZL1 on a concretes slope coming out of of a gas station. Did not think it was as aggressive as it was

Anyways I got it on ramps when I got home to explore the damage and as far as I can tell I must’ve just caught a threaded bolt extending down and bent it back.

Attached a couple pics of you could be so kind to view them.

What did I really mess up?

This is near the rear wheel looking from driver side.

Edit: Apologies the pics were posted upside down for some reason

Hard to tell from that picture. Looks like that bolt took the brunt of the damage. Other then the bolt being bent does not look like anything else was damaged.

You ought to be able to remove whatever it is that those bolts are holding in place to get a better look at what actually bent. You might even be able to gently tap the bolt back into its proper orientation with a hammer with a block of wood against the bolt to prevent damaging the threads.

A picture showing what happened under that cover/shield/whatever would give a better idea how to proceed, but it does look to be a DIY-level job at this point.

Thanks for the replies. I may tap it back into place but I was paranoid and stressing the day of and you guys helped put me at ease

Well... think before you tap. If it breaks off you'll really be mad. It looks like you might be able to straighten it, but you will have a bigger problem if it breaks instead. Probably just holding that protective cover, but without a fastener there it may rattle or vibrate. Plus there will be a loose part of the bolt still in that support structure.
