(no homo)

He had an SUV and his rear bumper went straight into my grille.
Needless to say he was fine and I was fine but his car was not even hurt,
He was like ohh you ****ed up.
i was like yeah.
we didnt call the cops or exchange insurance cuz he did not care.
either way I was at fault.
I was not texting. The whole bumper has to be replaced and possibly the upper grille.

Oh I just wanna add that your Camaro looks so ill with those rims, I remember when you first did them and the picture looks so sick.

Haha trust me, I'm thinking about it.
If I find a bumper already painted can I just prime and repaint it? Or can I just re-paint it?

Yeah it looks like most of the damage is to the grille from what I can see. You might be able to get away with painting and a grille. Sorry that happened man.

I have decided that I want to buy a 45th 2SS/RS. I am trying to hold out another year, to get my truck paid off first. My concern is I wont be able to find a gently used one with the options I want. I want an M6 with no sunroof. I have had the Camaro itch since I had to sell my ABM SS in order to purchase our house a year and a half ago. This time whatever I buy is staying in the family. If I had to stroke another payment right now I could but it is not ideal. Anyone think I'll have trouble finding that car in a year, I will travel to get it if I have to....

I put the cold air inductions intake on mine, no need to reprogram and it adds a nice sound to the car. Look at page 31 post 764 and 766 in this thread.

stryker755... I have a Ls3 45th no sunroof and in a year or so I might sell to buy a ZL1(just putting it out there, btw only 3100 miles since dec)... I dont see there being a problem in finding one as they only come in 2LT/RS or 2SS/RS, the 6m would be the kicker as most people by autos.

As someone else said, it also gets you the rs package, but on top of that, the carbon flash paint is a premium paint, that gm would have charged $350 extra for. So really it's cheaper than a regular 2ss/rs.

Honestly I could give a shit about the badges on it, the paint is what sold me

45th, definitely keep me in mind if you spring for the ZL1. I will fly down to FL and drive it home!
