Gen5DIY vs Gary’s
I need some help. I ordered the ZL1 Bumper from Ikon Motorsports for my 2010 camaro Rs LT. It wasn’t what I expected at all, it doesn’t fit on the car and the quality is not as reported. With that being said I’m looking to still do this modification and have come across Gary’s and Gen5DIY. I wanted to see if anyone had a preference or knows a difference between the two! Thanks a ton and appreciate the help.

nothing against gary's, but if you have pieces painted off the car they will not match perfectly. speaking from experience, bought rockers when the car was brand new and 2 different sets (4 pieces total) did not match at all despite everyone here claiming it would be the same.

Thanks Mattchew, yeah I reached out to Ikon through EBay and they are going to come take the old bumper back tomorrow. I’m opting for a refund, I didn’t the build quality was up to standard and wanting to do it once and be done I’m going with Gary’s customs. Been speaking with Gary and the turn around should be 2 weeks.
