*~-Which front end to get, Zl1 or Rideskinz?-~* - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Looking to upgrade my whole front end. These two I really like, and I believe they are similar in price too. Which would you prefer?

SoCalThug · 06-18-2012, 01:09 AM

Rideskinz

Do you like the dual fog light set-up?

I think the rideskinz would be more unique since there's already a few summit white ZL1 front ends out there (although there is a strong correlation between installing the SW zl1 front end and getting into an accident)

SoCalThug · 06-18-2012, 01:10 AM

Zl1

Rideskinz is really nice! Too many people have the zl1 bumper!

lscamaro · 06-18-2012, 01:11 AM

I think the zl1 bumper looks a lot cleaner and nicer. The rideskinz looks like there is too much going on... Just my opinion.

So its been bad luck when people add the zl1 front end! I was leaning towards rideskinz because its not an oem look. But i was thinking that eventually there will be some cool new halos for the zl1 fog lights.

Zl1 bumper does look really clean!! And it might turn more heads since the zl1 just came out, so all the newbie people i see will see the zl1 front end and be amazed

The ZL1 kit looks A LOT better than the rideskinz kit. It just looks more "finished". The rideskinz remind me of the body kits that they used to sell for Hondas back in 99'-01' era.

SoCalThug · 06-18-2012, 01:28 AM

I think it would look a lot better on the rideskinz if the bottom lip was blacked out like the zl1.. Never seen a honda front end look like that before ill have to look that up.. And my cousin was actually the test car for the rideskinz and i recently saw it in person. Driving from the beginning of my street i immediately noticed his front end and its aggressive look. It standed out so much it was crazy.. Now i have yet to see a zl1 in person so i cannot really say how much my jaw will drop when i see one but if the rideskinz got me droolin, im sure the zl1 will also. But Hmmm which one..Both are great front ends!

Buffnshine · 06-18-2012, 01:32 AM

The Rideskinz is cool, Taylor's looks awesome and he is local to you. My concern is that it is a one piece fachia vs ZL1 which is a multi piece and is actually less expensive to do. But the unique factor will really be the Rideskinz, at least anywhere but So Cal...lol

MikeSVX · 06-18-2012, 01:36 AM

I think for me it would come down to cost. They both look good.

SSGUNNER · 06-18-2012, 02:04 AM

ZL1

They can black it out or even carbon fiber it FYI.
