ACS Bumper Ports T2+T1 lighting or ZL1 front bumper?

[kenkartasasmita]

as subject

so all my spring break vacay money will go to the car and kinda hard to choose between both. so acs bumper ports is $800something (shipped to my door around $800-$850) and the ZL1 Front Bumper is $1300++ color matched.

what do u guys think? i know the zl1 front bumper it looks great, but its kinda pricey and i gotta for some 2 more months bcs my budget now is $1k and im a student.

help?

thanks.

if you got the money get the zl1 hands down. if you want the same look without breaking the bank get the t2 ports

[zkdreads]

has ANYBODY thought about painting maybe an half inch of the scoop the color of your car to more resemble that the scoop is recessed in

well i can save up some more and wait for another 2 or 3months for the bumper. but what about my old bumper, where should i put it? or sell it? what price are we looking for?

if you look at any zl1 there ports are built in with the bumper. with the t2 ports you can tell its an added part. was wonder if anybody painted like an inch of the front of the scoop to mimic more of the zl1 bumper. the zl1 bumper those ports are recessed in

[snow_leopard]

also with the zl1 bumper the lights are bezeled and it has a much cleaner look. the acs ports in combination with the mimic lights doesnt cut it in my opinion. but thats just my opinon.

Looks like the Zl-1 bumper lines don't really flow into the standard hood... So if you're not willing to invest in the extra cost of the hood, I'd go for the T2+T1 setup...

[FINALLYSATISFIED]

Hmm. I'd go with the ZL.

And i cant justify paying 500$ for just ports that are unpainted. I was in the edge of getting them but decided just to get foglights till i decide what i want later on.

yessur, ur right, the t2 ports it looks like doesnt built with the bumper. but, let say im gonna buy it, where should i put my old bumper? or who's gonna buy a second hand 1LT bumper? i mean that bumper still can make couple of bucks. although not that much.

i appreaciate ur opinion man. i know like the T2 ports and T1 lighting is the cheaper way to make ur car look like zl1.

i know, like for me for that small parts its kinda expensive (idk for the others), and i gotta pay a labor which is not cheap to cut my bumper.
