Got rear ended this morning, any bumper ideas?
Hey guys, got rear ended this morning. Camaro held up incredibly well. Still a little upset but coulda been worse...
Considering the possible replacement of my rear bumper I was thinking of going aftermarket or ZL1... What do you guys think would match my Camaro? Any suggestions for rear bumpers are welcome. I don't want anything too crazy though. Will a ZL1 bumper look bad with a dual Magnaflow exhaust versus the quad offered on the ZL1.

Damn that Nissan was tore up by the back of your Camaro.
I like the ZL1 back, but if you do that you might as well get the front. To your third question; yes, yes it will. Indeed, look bad. Bada$% |

I thought the only difference in the ZL1 rear was the diffuser? (maybe the way it installs to the bumper) I really like the look - if I had a chance I would go for it.
That sucks though - but overall it held up pretty good. |

ZL1 also has dual outlet exhaust with the dual mode system. I love the two tips per muffler look on these cars.

Man that sucks but you know Chevy Like a Rock. But i think techincally there is a difference in a ZL1 and non, bumper but its only for the way the lower diffuser, side pieces and mud guards attach on the ZL1 but its a direct bolt on match for non so no issues there and dual tips look wicked.

Anyone have pictures of the dual tip/ZL1 combo?
Also are there any other nice rear diffusers available??

Sorry to see your car got damaged with all the rain we had today I am always on the lookout for distracted drivers.
