Hello everyone, I was finally able to post up pictures of my v6 bumper. I still need to get it painted but i have been too busy to send it in to get it painted. So not quite done yet

i'm going for a concept camaro look on exterior so if you guys have any ideas on what else to add i would greatly appreciate it. Let me know what you guys think.

I think this looks awesome the v6 bumper is so much more sleak than the SS.

Cool! I've been waiting to see someone put a mailslot on the LLT fascia for that concept car look. I think GM should have released the SS fascia without the mailslot and the LLT with. Post pics after you get it painted

Thanks guys, I'm glad u like it. I'm also thinking of extending the stripes like bumblebee to give it even more of the concept look.

I bought a used ss bumper that was already pretty worn out off eBay. Then I took it to my friend that owns a shop and he just cut around the mailslot and pasted it on my v6 bumper then welded it with parts from the bumper so it can be flexible. He did an amazing job if u ask me. Then I went to a Chevy dealer and bought a mailslot.

lol yeah weird... I would want to get the SS bumper for the aggressiveness but no mail slot. It's funny you would mail slot a V6 bumper lol. Seems like the worst of both worlds for my taste.

However, props to you and your bravery =D I hope you like it. Also, might I ask how much it cost to do that?

I like it i want to do the same to mine i have a 1LT... wish it had the mailslot for LED's... Is there a difference between the two bumpers? i pulled a pic up of a SS and it looks the same minus the mail-slot...

jrod_15 · 05-26-2011, 08:02 PM

The v8 bumper I believe is lower and the bottom is more squared off I think..
