What do you guys think

An opportunity to get a new ss bumper came up cheap less than 250$. Do you guys think I can pick it up in my car.... I'm thinking theres no way looks like I'll have to take the Jeep. Any first hand experience?

Ok just found out it has been sanded and primed... Still worth it? How much to paint it?

I love the mail slot, I couldn't imagine it fitting in the car though. At all. Take the jeep.

Lower grill is different. Bottom lip is different. Looks more aggressive I think.

That's a pretty good deal, if its in good condition. I got quoted for a ss bumper from a vendor on here for like 800+ ...I'll pass and get a zl1 bumper for that much

Good luck

Take the Jeep and your Camaro will look much better with the SS slot

The fascias are big and flimsy. I wouldn't try to transport it in the Camaro.

It'll probably run you 300-400 to get it prepped and painted.
