It looks great! I'd say it's really close, if not, oem quality! Unfortunately I couldn't get it painted this weekend, so I'll have to come back after it's done (hopefully within a week or two).

That's great, just wanted to make sure it was of good quality. Didn't want to go through a debacle like the first rideskinz one. Can't wait to see how it looks on your car

I'll definitely give a better review after my paint guy tells me what he thinks and when it's painted and installed. But as of now, the fog lights snap onto the bumper perfectly, and the lower grill is attached the the bumper without gaps. Thanks, I can't wait either! Are you gonna come to Houston for Camaro Nationals in October? I'm assuming they're doing the event again this year...

Nah, I don't like that bumper at all. No offense to anyone but to me the ports look like cats whiskers. And the bottom opening is way too big in my opinion.

Lil' Nasty · 09-02-2013, 01:43 AM

Me too lonestar lol but yeah it looks meh but I'm starting to like my v6 bumper. Just needs a front lip

I like the way it looks (probably because it's non-stock), especially when painted certain ways. I just don't want to invest in extra body work, on top of the price point they're selling it at.

My biggest complaint with the v6 bumper is the lack of nice splitters. There's maybe 2 or 3 decent ones

I liked the V6 bumper, but not the ACS T2 ports. So I got the SS bumper with the intention of adding the T3 ports (hadn't done that yet). Now I'm going with the ZL1 bumper but won't be installing the foglights (mine is an LS and I never added fogs). I'll add the ZL1 projector fog lights and figure out what to do with the other light ports.

Yea, the t2 ports I didn't like at all.

What you can do is guy buy some generic 20 dollar fogs from wal mart and put them in. You don't even have to connect them if you don't want. Just to complete the look if you want. My fogs are the generic 20 dollar fogs from wal mart that I just replaced the bulb with a 5 dollar led from eBay

Hmmm, I should've done that with my old bumper, haha. But I don't want to have 6 lights up front. I'm either gonna come up with a blank insert (or modify the LS fog light insert) to cover the hole, or use the hole and make break ducts or something. Just trying to make the bumper a little different.

I honestly think the nicest zl1 bumper is the one that pyro boy has. The LEDs look really good in the fog area.

You could easily make some ducts or be creative and insert something there
