2017+ Tubular front bumper / crash bar, who makes one?

I have a good fabricator, but this job is so small, I'd like to see if anyone already makes one like Leftcoast does for the 5th gen...

Anybody know of a pre-made, tubular front bumper bar?

The bumper bar weighs nothing. Tubular may actually weigh more.

I'm trying to accomplish what I just did, increase airflow. I guess you guys have never looked behind the fascia of a GT4 Camaro, but it looks "like this" with all the bullshit safety stuff out of the way, there is a TON of airflow there, to give more consistency and reliability on the track.

More air in, More air out. Will replace with a double bar chromoly bar created here locally by my fabricator, but for now this will have to do...

Do some searching on here, a member makes them. I don’t want to say his name right now, because I think hes having trouble with the moderator’s. But a search will tell you all you need.

Very nice product, I believe the weight is the same as stock.

Does the Cordes bar still have the provision for the tow hook?

Cool

I have the Griffin bar that I modified to work with my combination. I am currently working on a new video that focuses on all the modifications I have done to date on my ZLE, to document the path I have taken to extract the most power I can with reliability on the stock platform. To date, on about 35% E mixed with pump 93 octane, 789whp and 807 lb/ft of torque with the stock cam, supercharger and heads!

I have focused on removing the OEM oil cooler, balancing the power of all 8 cylinders and making sure the MATs are in control by reversing the coolant flow.

In addition to removing BS heat from the engine, I am focusing on proper coolant management for the Supercharger by reversing the coolant flow and I have built the most efficient SCHX with the greatest volume on the market. It touts 100% coolant to airflow saturation with a triple bypass, the only one in the industry and will be available in 2025. Its all-aluminum design houses huge end-tanks to offer unrestricted flow and over 1.5 GALLON of coolant versus the OEM 16-ounces!!

Yes sir... This is our signature product. Designed to create that "clear path" to the main HX, provide a "perch" for our oil cooler, includes a tow hook provision, air deflectors... and weights the same as OEM so no weight penalty.

Website in the signature if you want one
