6 HOLES IN THE BUMPER! - Page 3 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I live in Texas & I managed to get my lic. plate bracket handed to me. So, instead of getting holes drilled, I used a couple long skinny toggle bolts & washers to mount it half on the grill & half on the bumper.

The soul that drilled into mine upgraded to a greater idiot by far. I sort of want to meet him/her in person lol

Hey Virgil...is this straight?
Sure!
Virgil, did you even look?
Look at what?

Lolz

1BADZL1 · 12-02-2011, 04:50 AM

are the holes in your sig pic too?
... Im in texas...the remote hidden plate wont work on a ZL1....
So Ill just have to go without a plate. Id rather pay for tickets then mess up a 60k car...
btw.. I ordered my Z in shreveport..... I told them to leave the plate bracket off the order!
To the OP... I would not fill and paint... get you a used bumper/cover and replace it with the same colored one.
But with NO holes in it! lol

Congrats MY69RS on the ZL1 order!!

By the way, I just Photo-shopped the holes out of my signiature. So, the hideous drill holes are still there. If I were to order a ZL1 like yourself, I definitly would not put the plates on. Smart choice!

you should route some straws from the holes to your intake

SILVER1 · 12-12-2011, 11:09 PM

Would Bendy Straws work?

yeah but the kinks would cause turbulence so for that reason mandrel bent would be best.

Time for a new bumper sir.

chevyswagger · 12-14-2011, 11:11 AM

they sell ones that come up from under the bumper so you dont see the holes ....but too late

DocT · 12-14-2011, 02:47 PM

Looks like you were the get-away car in a shoot out!
