So my dad was driving my camaro about 2 months ago and he has a truck so he is used to getting close to the concrete stopper things in parking spaces. Well this one was the perfect height for my camaro and ripped the sides of the front bumper loose and now I think it's just time for a new bumper. I was thinking about getting this http://www.bodykits.com/Extreme-Dime...108574/896729/
But I am not sure if it is an entire replacement for the bumper or just some kind of cover can someone plz help. If this will not work can someone let me know of a replacement that will replace my whole front bumper.
(Also does anyone know around how much it should cost to have the diablo front bumper painted and color matched. Thanks

It was a lot worse than it looks but I have done a few repairs myself trying to fix it and the bottom of the bumper is warped from the previous owner.

I've heard terrible reviews for anything relating to the body of the car with Extreme Dimensions. Go with the ZL1 front bumper, probably the best looking one out there right now.

Well anything aftermarket like that bumper cover can be expected to not fit as well as factory.

These things can be made to look great with a little patience and know how if its a decent product to begin with.

Has anyone had any experience with the diablo front bumper because it's one of the few I like that are in my price range.

Don't ever buy from them it cost me like 600$ for the bumper for my Subaru it ended up costing I think 3000$ in labor to get it fitted painted and put on my Subaru it started at 1000$ and the shop I believe fucxed me royally they kept upping the price and it took like a month for them to do it. The bumper was supposed to fit out of box and it wasn't any where close.
