ACS T3 ports installed

So I decided to tackle the job of installing these bumper ports myself. Im a mechanic so I have experience with body work as well as mechanical work. Don't get me wrong I was terrified to make that first cut, but once I did the rest was easy. If anyone else wants to do it just take your time and make sure you measure 100 times and cut once lol

Here are some pics.(yes I did this in my living room)

Love the look! From a single pick, looks like the install went well and the fit looks good.

Wow. That looks factory clean.

Having the ports painted makes a huge difference.

Any chance we could get a full frontal pic?

Those look awesome great job. Now put the ZL1 hood insert in plus the 3-D carbon fender vents then finally the C-6 top of the rear fenders vents in.

Did you eliminate your fog lights with those?

Where did you get those and were they prepainted?

I am waiting for the new fog lights to come in the mail. It’s a kit that attaches to the ports. Makes for a clean install. I actually got them pre painted from Gary’s customs here on the Camaro5 forum. I am stationed in Germany and he made the whole process super easy for me. And the paint match was perfect.

Thank you! Just ordered springs/shocks and a sway bar kit. So hopefully it’ll make it look a little more aggressive.

I'm looking your modifications (very nice ) but I have a one question.
I read a lot of internet news about the German police as they confiscate the "posers" cars (ilegal upgrades cars). ...Work by Dennis Gladiator

How do you drive with a car in Germany ...?

Some pictures confiscate cars...
