Hello all, I haven't used this in a while but I figured there is no better place to ask. So, about 4 months ago I was involved in a hit and run accident resulting in my bumper being minorly dented in, right in the center as well as one of my headlights shattering in the corner. Unfortunately, my headlights were custom so I have to now replace both. For quite a few reasons id also like to replace the bumper as well.
I was wondering if anyone here had any recommendations for cheap or cool aftermarket bumpers, headlights, and foglights for a 2017 Camaro 2SS. Thanks a ton! |

I have an OEM front bumper if need one. I swapped it out so I could put an aftermarket one that looks and fits like poop. The only front bumper aftermarket option is the Ikon motorsports ZL1 (1LE). If you get other brands it looks really off.

I'm my years of experience with aftermarket bumpers, I have never had one for correctly, oem style or custom design. Find yourself a GM bumper, don't cheap out and save yourself time and money.

I was thinking of picking up a bumper from "Painted OEM Parts", if anyone has any experience with them. I would imagine its a stock OEM bumper that's painted. I also saw the Ikon "ZL1" bumper, but would that be stupid or poser looking on an SS or just look cool??

For the headlight, if they're the same shape as OEM you can do what I did.
Buy a headlight off eBay that is messed up but has good glass then swap the glass (you would have to cut the glass off each headlight then glue them on with silicone RTV like Oracle does). Much cheaper then buying whole new or used headlights.

If there is a helpful dealership in the vicinity that's willing to give you a break and not charge MSRP, I would try to get the bumper itself through them (zero shipping), then go to a good body shop and have them paint the bumper to come out a few hundred bucks ahead. The dealership's body shop might be doing a good job, too.
