They don't exactly say what you are getting. Just the main bumper, or the lower bumper too? I doubt the GM factory ZL1 pieces would not work to well lol. They don't even have a pic of it installed on a real car, just a CAD render...

Smells fishy to me. I'd rather pay the big money for the real deal.

tmac1granger33 · 09-26-2012, 01:42 AM

true I emailed Extreme Dimensions to see if I could get actual pictures of the bumper... you never know what your gonna get with them , i know i got a kit by them and it was not good quality at all, but hey you never know , could be a good alternative to getting the actual zl1 bumper...

looks like they are producing a zl1 style hood too

Not bad I would like to see photos of the hood

lscamaro · 09-26-2012, 07:02 PM

The bumper doesn't look bad at all, but would like to see the quality of it

ya me too, your hood looks great and it was a cheaper one off ebay, so maybe this wont be too bad

tmac1granger33 · 09-26-2012, 07:06 PM

i kinda dig the mesh

zkdreads · 09-26-2012, 07:37 PM

Don't u have to drill holes for fitment etc etc. I bet that thing does NOT fit

goval · 09-26-2012, 08:03 PM

Looks like the bumper is a one piece deal vice the two-piece factory bumper. You wouldnt be able to tell the difference after it is painted.

midnighter · 09-26-2012, 08:04 PM

That bumper actually looks decent. I like the mesh lower grill more than the real ZL1 bumper lower grill.

They sent me pictures like this to reassure me when ordering the rwcer kit (razzi replica). The kit they sent me was nothing like the pictures. I spent more on body work and paintthen I did on the kit and it still isnt acceptable in my eyes but is all that can be done because of the product. I can live with the sides and rear being cheaper quality but my front is completely destroyed because of rock chips. If a rock hits the fiberglass hard enough it will cause cracks all along your bumper making it loo horrible like mine does. Plus it wont come with any mounting hardware making install a pain.
