Lost shipments of bumper? That seems rather odd Id go with delay due to no routes over it being lost.

You could always have bumper lines fixed to match your hood. They should have just went with no bumper lines cause then the lines would just end with the hood and be universal.

I intially wanted 5th gen ZL1 hood like Elvis66 and still sort of do but the lines will bother me. I'm now kimd of partial to z28 / SS from 14 as the hood will lines will line up.

The other thing that would be custom would be 6th gen zl1 insert on 5th gen hood but the extractor hole would have to be filled in.

I'll be using my stock hood for awhile anyways and my mind keeps changing.

First one I had was perfect in a box so big it would almost not fit into my Tahoe with the back seats all down until I got hit by some idiot in a parking lot so I got a replacement bumper from them with the same posting and it was the worst packaged thing ever with the front of the bumper sticking out of the box which to no shock didn't remotely line up to be fit onto my car.

This 3rd one which came in the same box as the 2nd one but a little bit better hopefully fits.

The second box which I signed for as damaged

Mine came in this. Dented like it is now even though I have the inserts on top. I thought it would be damaged for sure. Ad said it was primed ready for paint but it really wasnt we ended up spraying it with a grey primer and adhession promoter.

Sucks about the parking lot hit. ( My fender got smashed in parking lot the day I was picking up my painted bumper )

Got the heat extractor installed and it looks pretty good! I'm debating on getting 6gen headlights or keeping the ones I have since I bought them before the 6gen style came out. Now just to wait for the bumper!

If they made them in a different material with both matching hood lines it would be awesome.
I am a fan of the styling, just not the quality of those currently offered.
I do enjoy seeing the pics however keep them coming!

Yea its very comparable to OEM material. Though the stiffener is not used.

So far the only thing I can test on my 6th gen light is sequential turn signal. It works.

mbrinker96 · 06-16-2019, 12:10 AM

Got a call from the shipping company and I should be getting the bumper Monday (only 7 days late lol).
If it does come with the belly pan then I can take pictures showing measurements and angles of it so it makes it easier for you guys to build one.
