Gen6 front splitter grill & bumper for 5th gen - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I'm in a camaro group on fb and recently came across a company making 6th gen zl1 front bumpers with the grill for 5th gen camaro's, i love the body of the 5th gen but i've always had a thing for the 6th gen front bumper/splitter, i can't wait, i'm going to pre order mine soon, here is a few pics they posted

I'm curious on other peoples thoughts about how it looks?

Since you are asking for opinions, I don’t like it. Sorry.

I think it looks better on the 5th gen than the 6th but I like the 5th more. It looks to much like the front of my wife's Camry but with a meaner look

Opinons wont stop me from ordering it, i'm just kinda putting it out there for other owners that may have wanted it, i personally love it, to me it adds an aggressive styling to the front, that's just me thouh, thanks for the feedback

I like it but it looks like it would only fit the 14-15 models....

Splat · 01-02-2018, 09:21 AM

I don't know why, but it feels like the 5th gen camaro, its the replacement for the "ricer Honda Civic"

I was reading the opposite, it fits the earlier gens fine but with the 14-15 there would be a gap at the headlights as it is designed around the 10-13 headlights.

I read that right after I posted. From the look it would appear to fit the other way.

I like it .. these front ends are so easy to change around why not have multiple options and change when you feel like it!

InFiD3ViL · 01-02-2018, 02:32 PM

I do like it a lot...but maybe not so much on the pre-refresh 5th gen?

The rest of the car just doesn't seem to match it style wise. The pre-refresh 5th gen has a 'classic' look to it. This front end looks very modern. I think with this installed on a 2010-2013 it just doesn't fit the theme of the car, for lack of better words.

Look at the front end of the car with this installed and then walk to the rear of the car. The tail lights/rear end just do not match the front end in any way at all. No cohesiveness in the design.

Anyone get what I'm trying to say? I almost get a 'kit car' type of vibe from it.

Meh

I honestly have the opposite opinion, i think the 2010-2013 have the nicest asses & the back looks aggressive to me, it feels like the front end is lacking something, and i think this is it

I love the look of the 2010-2013 rears as well. I just think the 6th gen ZL1 front end does not really match the rear end of a 5th gen in terms of styling. I do agree that the stock front end is missing something. But for me, a 5th gen ZL1 bumper is what is needed.

But in the end, who cares, right? If you like it, that is all that matters.
