AGREED.

I've always wondered why people have nothing else to do but b*tch and complain about what others do with their cars...

Seems like they'd be more happy at a car show with nothing but cars from a dealership. All plain, stock and ZERO creativity or individuality.

Like they are trying to be a universal nagging Internet wife...

The world needs more testosterone and Tim "the tool man" taylors!

I agree that a ZL1 bumper should stay on a ZL1!! All body panels, rear spoiler and wheels should stay too. And besides, those parts are expensive to change out so I say just save your money and buy the real deal. That's my opinion on the subject.

Did we get an update on this or is the dick measuring contest still going?

Take it to PM or facebook or something - it's cluttering up the thread.

I just came for pictures, I didn't see much of a dick measuring contest. I saw a couple of dudes being GM-fascists trying to tell people what they can and can't have and where "parts belong" and then I watched the Powerhouse laying the verbal smack down.

I come from german cars, and in my old world putting "M" badges on a non-M car is a 'no-no' .. but the first 'mod' I did when I finally bought my M5 was de-badge it to make it look more like a regular 5-series which makes it a 'sleeper'

Looking back its all kinda stupid as long as somebody is putting love into their machine they are my auto-enthusiasts brothers and sisters. also, I just googled Nui Tofiga... gotta say dudes awesome.

BUTTT, If I dont get an update soon I might just do this to my v6 convertible and have the added bonus of pissing off the haters

Ok worked on 5 different upgrades today, wanted to show you some thing, yes the ZL1 bumper does not fit on the SS or the LT cars with out some modding, LOL first set of CNC parts are ready to go, here is a pic of gen5 red 2.0T with the CNC part on, look at the 2 pics and you can tell what we did to get the width needed for the wider lower bumper to fit, still have 2 more parts to make so all the lights fit back.

Exciting developments! So that's the stock fender 'pushed out' to ZL1 specs?... Looking good
