Honestly, I like the v6 bumper better. Gives the car a better look IMO. $400 and that's including paint I just haven't taken it to get it painted

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

Very nice.
The mail slot is cool, should of came like that on the v6.
Actually surprised no one has made a mail slot for v6 folks similar to how the t2 ports are made.

looks great man, should look even better after paint.

For a concept look, you need a Fuel filler door relocation and rear diffuser with the concept exhaust ports, and of course who could forget the side markers.

and if you really want to polish off the concept look, find replicas of the stock 20's in 21's for the front and 22's for the rear, then drop the car about an inch or so

Looks great. IMO the V6 fascia lip looks much better than the V8 lip, and not just because it is closer to the concept look. I much prefer the angled look of the V6 over the almost flat look of the V8 lip (it actually looks kind of boring to me, especially with the gaping hole of a lower grill), but I'm also one of those that actually likes the mail slot. Given a choice between the lower fascia of the V6 and the mail slot of the V8 though I'll take the V6 fascia any day, however you've combined the best of both worlds.

Oh yeah I know almost everything I need to do for the concept look. I've been thinking if relocating the fuel door but I'm sure its expensive. Also no one has made 21" replicas do you think 20's would look good with 22's in the back?

That looks niCe!
..im still thinking how you got it done.
I was simply thinking of getting the actual SS bumper and keep the original RS middle Grille with the RS emblem. The lip on the SS bumper looks niCer than the V6 for sure...

However, you did a great job and surely UNIQUE... CONGRATS MAN!

if you want a concept looking car, get the GM ground effects and paint them flat black (like your stripes) and definitly get the side vent decals (gills) **of course flat black just like your stripes**

LOL
yeh dont listen to this guy..
what you need are 4 vents in the front bumper 2 on lower left an 2 on lower right..
then you are going to need the bumblebee stripes
then ull need the concept diffuser then ull need skinny side mirrors
and concept side markers from showstopper
also shave the door handle an customize a silver fake door handle thingy
you can relocate the gas cap but make it above the current placement itll be much cheaper
and get 22s replicas silver
also concept tail lights
and shave the reverse lights
and youll have the concept camaro :p

He did an amazing job if u ask me. Then I went to a Chevy dealer and bought a mailslot.
