Cost of SS bumper is same cost as V6 bumper. My car just got smashed by a small deer or large dog.. Im doing this because it costs me nothing extra and is more aesthetically pleasing. Has nothing to do with being a "poser" Not like Im going to rock SS badging on a V6 camaro.

I did it, and I DON'T CARE WHAT ANYONE THINKS!!! It looks good and it's what I wanted. Just like your stripes and grille... I think they look bad, but that's my opinion and I know you don't care. To each his own, live with it or go buy everyone a car you think they should have.

Correct me if im wrong, but from my understanding, the V8 's front end is like 1/2" wider and before you can place the V8's front bumper on the V6's you must also replace to the front fenders as well, otherwise they will not align correctly

You're wrong, and you now stand corrected! On a serious note, it is wider, but the only thing that you can't get to fit the same is the wheel wells in the very front. On the very bottom one, the holes will not line up to connect them, but the other 2 will and it holds securely.

And I PAID for my SS fascia... I didn't label it as an SS. Doesn't matter what people do to their cars. Do what you want, some will like it, some won't. So what. I don't care what SS owners think about me having the fascia... it was MY choice and MY money. I am not trying to "ppl fakeing what there not" as you said. I am making my Camaro mine, the way I want it, the way I feel it should be.

Why is there a double standard, several people have put the V6 nose on an SS Because they did not like the mail slot and everyone says that is ok. You guys need to get off your high horse, it's his car let him do what he likes to make it look better in his opinion.

It makes me sick whenever a SS guy thinks it's just fine to make a SS look like a V6 yet a V6 person is being a poser for making his V6 look like an SS. It's ridiculous!!!
Either way it looks like something it's not, so are they not also a poser? In my opinion it's the same as adding halos, a spoiler and tinted taillights to a non RS car, your making your car your own.

Your right, it's our choice
My front end is modified with ACS T2 facia and Nickey stinger hood. Some like, other don't but it's my car. I could even get the new T3 kit if I wanted too.
SO who are we to critisize.... This car is made for mods, so lets mod them.... ACS T2 facia with splitter (LT) ACS Nickey stinger ACS New T3 facia with new hood heat extractors (SS)
