Before and After, new bumper

So I bought the ZL1 conversion bumper for my Camaro and I just got it installed. What do y'all think?

Before:

After



I'd really like everyone's opinion, also does anyone know where I could get some nice looking black rims? Kinda like the ones on the Camaro 1LE?

Looks awesome, the rims are pretty rare but you can offer some people on here, they are also pricey.

First let me say that my buddy tried other splitters and o e literally flew off and hit another buddy's car. Sooo, we know what you've got is solid so good choice.

But from a stylistic stand point, I think it works well on the ZL1 because the black is carried around the bottom of the whole car. So maybe think about the side skirts next. But that's just me

Do you know where to order the side skirts from?

Get the ZL1 replica wheels from Factory Reproductions they're reasonably priced. I'm looking into getting a set myself.

Looks good so far!

But car is looking great. Some black wheels, ZL1 sides, and the heritage grill and you will be all set

ZL1 bumper looks great!
The black ZL1 wheels would be a nice upgrade but they are expensive. I'd just paint your stock wheels black.

Looks great! I've always thought the V6 bumper was bland looking, the ZL1 bumper looks so much better!

Looks great. Reminds me of what I did to my fiancee's Camaro. Here are pics of hers: http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=301997

I love the black ZL1 10-spoke rims but they are out of my price range. The tires are also expensive and don't even think about driving them in colder weather. I don't like how they stick a little out farther than the fender. I could always get replicas but I've been thinking about OZ Ultraleggera HLTs. They are lightweight and look awesome.

davidcroft's:


There's also the replica ZL1 5-spoke rims in black.
