Have to admit probably was smart to move us to off topic. If you hadn't done that our post counts would never increase

It is a lot for a bumper but so worth it. I spent a lot on my ACS bumper but I would do it all over in a heart beat!

Actually some input on why you would do the bumper all over again would be great too

Mods are T4 splitter, T4 undertray, and wind deflectors from Gen5diy tomorrow
and
Seibon ST Trunk and RKsport Ram Air hood (IMO best looking hood with the mail slot) from Phastek tomorrow/sunday whenever they answer my sale question lol

oh and a Magna Flow Xpipe from JDP

------

As for the Bumper, I always felt like Chevy did the V6 a disservice with the front end and how it didn't look as aggressive as the V8. Sure they had to make them different but still the sharpness of the V8 front always grabbed my attention.

And back in the day when I wanted a new front end there were only a few different options for ports to change the front and ACS was the first to sell V8 bumpers with their ports installed already. So I decided to go with that. Sure I have the mail slot which I wasn't to thrilled about at first but it grew on me fast and now it's a part of my car's spirit.

It was a lot of money to buy and paint for one piece but I still would do it. Makes it look so much more aggressive and makes it one of a kind (don't see many four port Camaro's on here!) and it was a direct fit so that was super easy!

And I also got to keep my v6 bumper so if I ever got in an accident and had to wait on another ACS bumper I could throw my old one back on and drive around til the other one came in or something. Or I'll make a desk out of it when I get a bigger apartment!

Now there are a few options for bumpers, the multiple ACS versions, ZL, and a few others. So if you really fell in love with the ZL bumper I say go for it. Sure it is pricey but you will not regret getting it and changing the look to something you've dreamed of.

Sorry for the long post, I'm just passionate about why I change what I change

Your car is going to be completely different after all those changes. What's the t4 diffuser? I don't think of heard of that one. Please post pics once everything is done.

I actually change quite a bit on what I like sadly
I like the zl1 bumper because it gives it an aggressive / lower look but I have really started to like the SS bumper with t4 ports and t4 splitter. Those ports are the ones I've liked ever since the leno bumper and those are perfect. I just hate that ACS charges so much for them. 400 dollars for ports seems a bit absurd to me. So the ZL1 is a good replacement for the price imo. I definitely want to change up the front end since as you said, the v6 is so much less aggressive.

My bad it's the T4 undertray for the splitter I just typed diffuser (changed now lol)

Ah gotcha, yeah I bought my whole bumper through Gary so his prices were a bit better than ACS but which ever you get you'll fall in love with more and more
