Looking to do some unconventional
 

I am looking to do something a little out there. Long story short I need a new front bumper, and I saw a camaro driving down the road the other day with a push bar in front of the car. Anyone know where I can get one that would fit a 2013 SS?

:dizzy: have you thought this through? won't it look like a cop car?

if you are sober and sure..(lol), I would call Westin Automotive. If they do not offer one, they would be able to tell you who does. They pretty much own that market segment.

Omg.... please don't do it

I have seen gen5 Camaros with them, but I have to believe theyare adapted from another one instead of being made for the Camaro. Fleet Safety doesnt list a push bar for the Camaro.

I didn't read through everything, but this guy gives a good amount of info on the procedure and where to get everything: http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showth...=287683&page=2

He put it on a V6, but it might help steer you in the right direction, or even work for the SS. Doesn't actually look that bad, but it's not something I would do haha.

HAHA yes I was sober when I posted, and no I am not completely sure yet. I saw one cruising and to me it look a little out there, but badass. Just trying to think through different options. It is either that, or the ZL1 bumper, but I feel like I want to do something that is not being done by everyone modding their Camaros.


Thanks for finding this for me! I probably should have searched it before posting.

Don't stop there. I'd go for a small plow.....badass

You might as well go all the way.

:scared: :der:

That's what I was thinking...like the Local Motors Rally Fighter, only using a Camaro.

hahah I had a feeling something like this was coming. I understand most people would never put a push bar on their Camaro, but hey, there are plenty of things people are doing with theres that I would never do.

If you think you may sell the car some day, it would be hard to sell with a push bar on it.

Push bars look cool (hey, MY opinion!), but they are also very useful. I had a police style push bumper on my S-10 truck a few years ago. I used it countless times, pushing disabled vehicles out of traffic, bump- starting vehicles, or even ramming stuff (FACT: sometimes stuff just needs to be rammed). Some of the things I did with that bumper would simply not be believed, so I won't even try to mention them here.

I'm pretty sure that I need one on my Camaro.

push bars are pointless functionally unless tied to the frame rails, if not properly braced it would be more of a damage multiplier than anything
