Would you mind taking some pics in the sun light? I'm interested on how well they were able to color match the bumper. I know CGM is a notoriously hard color to color match and have seen some people have terrible mismatching paint even when they say that it was done by an "expert"

My original paint is 2 years old compared to the new bumper. Without spending an arm and leg to get it blended it's noticeable up close, but not much from far away. Didn't expect it to be perfect. I assume over time they will begin to blend..

did the fogs come with the bumper or did you have to order them separate?

lscamaro · 10-16-2013, 11:19 AM

The bottom ones come with it the top can be transferred over if you have drl or you can buy them

Looks freaking awesome. Having any issues with ground clearance?

I have the same bumper from the same company and as long as your car isn't lowered there is no problems at all with ground clearance. I can do speed bumps, parking stops, and even curbs clear without any issues. It's a shame really, I even practiced before I got the ZL1 bumper and I still over extend my front. But no worries!

Looks very nice!

What's up with the chrome piece on the center of the grill? I've never seen that before. I have seen the whole grill in chrome but not just the middle line.

lscamaro · 10-16-2013, 10:03 PM

It's part of the replica grille. Don't know why they decided to make it like that
