ZL1 bumper or something else? - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Get the zl1 bumper from gen5diy. their harnesses for the fogs are the one's you want. got a local guy here that got it from gary's, and his fogs/drl's don't work right. not sure if it was just his case or not. Then get blown, to shut these cry babies up.

also, you may need to get a shop to sand down the bumper lines to match the hood cowl lines.

If you like the look of the ZL1 bumper then get it. I have the bumper, hood insert and hope to pick up the rims soon. I just have some jabs at me on the forum but in person people are polite and usually say that is cool.

But I also announce I don't have a ZL1

I prefer the ZL1

Thanks for that info PMC!

I've decided on ZL1 bumper because I know it's aero is proven and like the look. Now do I want GM's or one made from Polyurethane?

BiG_TiMe · 08-06-2013, 03:21 PM

get the zl1 or an SS with either T3 or T4 ports

Insurance said they see no problem with me using ZL1 bumper for replacement and my deductible is only $100 apparently. Gotta double check with my agent (family friend for years). The claim rep said I'd need to talk to the shop (ABRA) about it, but they saw no problem with it.

Go with Gary's custom or gen5diy they both use gm parts
and r good people to work with. I got the bumper from gary
and the harness from gen5diy and everything went together
with no problems.

I think the ZL1 front end is sexy. Here is a shot of mine at the Camaro Nationals this year.

Okay with this bumper I want the Halos and DRLs to come on together. Then at night the Fogs to come on with the HIDs and Halos.

What bulbs do you all recommend for the Fogs and DRLs? What harness? Or should I just let Fogs and DRLs come on together?
