I want the autosource zl1 bumper. It'll probably be my next big mod but paint matching is holding me back. Anyone have problems with matching metallic paint?

I've had a lot of paint work done from wrecks on my CGM and the paint matches flawlessly through the dealer. You know how picky I am about paint.

For sure

I totally forgot you had a wreck and had to have paint work done. Did you just let the dealer have at it or did you go to a shop?

Dealer.

And I've also had my rear bumper painted by a different dealer due to another hit and run and it matches great too. Also had my spoiler painted by a small shop and it matches perfect.

I think the difficulty of matching metallic paint is kind of like the back pressure thing.

Only reason I ask is because I saw a thread about the guy who got the zl1 bumper and it wasn't even close. Looked almost more blue than gray. Then the rpi pre painted option picture isn't even close either. They say its cuz of how the "light hits the car" but its so bad that it wouldn't help

I say just go for it. Assuming you go to a reputable place I wouldn't think it would a be a big deal. I have been really thinking about doing their GFX splitter but for now I have decided against it but knowing me that could change tomorrow

I'm thr exact same way. I'm debating the ss bumper with a splitter or the zl1 bumper. Only reason I'm leaning towards zl1 is it doesn't have a mailslot and I like that its lower. It could definitely chane though. I definitely want the zl1 diffuser though

When I was getting my MRTs I was pretty close to ordering the GFX version and just doing a quad tip setup but the price of the NPP diffuser was insane then and the ZL1 one was like untouchable so I just went the standard route. Kind of glad I did actually

Don't like dual tips?

No I do it's just that I feel like everyone is doing them so it's different to leave the single tips now I rather put the 250 dollars it would cost with the NPP diffuser, tips, and welding to use for the MGW shifter.

Speaking of which I have been debating what my next mod will be after I save for the rims I'm getting. Been thinking ZL1 sides and rock guards but have also been contemplating the MGW short throw. I'm leaning to just do the ZL1 sides to finish my aesthetic mods

You know, I thought the exact same thing. But it's really only on here. Which is a small percentage of owners. The only dual exhaust camaros I've seen here in the city are either ZL1s or 1LEs both of which come stock with dual exhaust. I've maybe seen 1 or 2 modified camaros that have them but that's almost nothing. And after seeing it in person, I like the way the dual tip looks so I might go ahead and do it. It's kinda the same mentality with the zl1 bumper, I've only seen 2 people with a ZL1 bumper swap. But that's just here.

I'd do the ZL1 sides. Here's why I suggest that. Also, please don't take offense to this . You barely drive the car and don't race it much if not ever so yes a short throw is a great mod to have in a manual car but you can probably live without it for a little more time. Buy the ZL1 sides, finish the cosmetics and then buy the short throw.
