Well I guess that is your interpretation. To me "hating" will always be about jealousy... when the term was popularized in pop culture they were referring to those that were jealous of their accomplishments, possessions etc.

and comments like "it's ugly, nasty etc" are peoples opinions and nothing more, and on a forum you are going to hear a lot of opinions... some harsher than others.

The meaning of words change abd evolve overtime. Especially when reffering to pop culture and slag. Me personally i could careless who likes it or not. Let the haters hate. I kind of think its funny in a way when people get all nasty about someones person choice on Thier own car.

Until I see some pictures of your project I'll have to settle for hating on your spelling and grammar. It's nasty.

Just post the photos already.

I'm sure some are confused as to what bumper you are actually talking about.

Not everyone realizes that the ZR Front bumper and C5.5 front bumper are actually two different things:

C5.5 Front:



ZR Front Bumper From Corvette Creations:



Post up your photos.

Whole lot of bs and not a lot of pictures. Why create a thread about something you're going to do in the future instead of just waiting until you have the pics handy and posting it up then? I'm already hating and I haven't even seen the car!

Where this thread is going:



Where it NEEDS to go:


Hell, somebody had to post some pictures for all the other poor souls entering this thread.

This must be a 5.5 with a c6 rear?

Only someone pompous would care about someones Grammer really. Addressing some as dude is rude? What country are we in England? Butchering the queens english. You must be a bloody ****** then.

Its a brand new cell phone that keeps autocorrecting on its own.

While those headlights are not my taste, that bumper looks nice.

I really like the way the Headlights look in the daytime when the car is running. The yellow halos around the projectors look awesome

I actually know the guy that makes these bumper covers and I thought about getting one made when he first started making them. I just couldn't get the C6 front side marker lights out of my mind. The cover does look good but I still can't get to liking the side lights. I do like the overall look though.

i can't say enough things about paco who is responsible for making these bumper covers. He's out or Arizona.

He answered every question I asked. I asked atleast a dozen questions. He not only graciously answered each and every question I threw at him. He actually drove the bumper cover from Arizona to las vegas right to my garage for sema. Great guy... great company. .. great product. .. great customer service :-) way above satisfied

this is my honest opinion to the OP of this thread, while I think it looks good, I think in my opinion would look better with flip up head lights, and a full C5 emblem on the front..as well as a blacked out grill. I really think if those were done it would look leaps and bounds better..but its not my car...and if that is what make's you happy then that is all that matter's right!

Yup, I agree. He is a great guy. I need to contact him and see what he's been up to. Been a while since I have seen him.

is that the same bumper as the red one pictured? they look different but i can't tell if its because of the different angles and/or the fixed headlights. i agree with momo20, the pop up headlights, full emblem and blackout out grill would look better in my opinion, like the red one
