good place to get a zl1 like bumper

Try Gary's Custom, they can color match. They did my rockers and they came out great.

Your Camaro looks incredible! First of all, thank you for getting our MPD1 "Z Force" ram air hood! The hockey stick stripes are the best I have seen; are they painted on? Love the wheels and the painted front lip on the fascia. Great job!!

Here is a another different approach to the ZL1 front. I took all the textured black parts and sanded and primed them smooth. Then I painted them in a satin black with the front lip painted gray to match.

Although technically I am against the idea of cloning, I've seen some great looking results with the zl1 bumper and some imagination.

The key is to use OEM or high quality parts, and have (or be) a great body and paint person.

Good luck.

Thank you Eric. I order the hood from you when you where moving. The hockey stripes are the SLP vinyl hockey sticks.

I think the ZL1 front end w/ GFX would look badass!

SlimeV8 · 12-25-2016, 01:26 AM

I have a full GM ground effects kit but I'm planning on doing a ZL1 conversion in front and back with ACS side skirts. I don't think there is wrong with anybody doing a conversion it's their car.

We think it's your car, and it's up to you to make the car your way, use OEM parts, or top of the line aftermarket parts, you want a good fit and there are parts out there that don't fit with out a lot of work, we have done a lot of nice work, here is the first one.

A lot of members have used their products and good feedback on them. What bumper are you thinking of? The MPD1 hood is great!

SLY5ACE · 12-28-2016, 07:34 AM

the acs composite t1 front bumper it reminds me of the zl1 bumper but different, i want to know if those two components will work together?
