'69 bumper conversion kit - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I found a '69 bumper conversion kit in a Camaro parts dealer magazine. Has anyone added this to their 5th gen. I think it looks great. I want my heritage Camaro to look vintage. Any suggestions?

I've seen a few pics...maybe do a search...hey, if you like it, but I don't think its a very popular mod, if that matters...I love the vintage stuff, went with ss badges, etc...but I thought the whole bumper thing was just too much...

Or did you mean these:
They aren't as bad, but still look out of place.

90503 · 02-02-2012, 11:37 PM

Yeah, thats a little more tame...I think they are just stick on chrome pieces...not a whole front end change...
