Corvette Wall Bumper
All that was left from having my C5 wrecked was the rear bumper, so I got a 300w 12v transformer, wired up all the stock bulbs and added two down lights on the bottom, then hung it in my garage. There's a 20amp toggle switch on the bottom for switching on/off. Worked out pretty nice and hope this gives y'all some ideas.
Later I hope to integrate this into the front of an outdoor covered bar ...

It's the stock bumper, maybe 40 to 50 lbs or so. I used two large hooks at the top in the ceiling and screwed each lower well-edge to the wall. I initially put a dimmer on it, but it looked much better at full brightness. Blinkers would be cool though ...

Sequential or 4-way hazard would top it off as a bar front...

was the rest of the car "under a semi"???? If so, my dad sent me the pics of that wreck about a month ago. He asked me if "I needed a new set of tail lights" with the wreck picture attached.
I would love to send him your pic and say "the owner sends his regards, but he's gonna keep them"
Potentially a small world. Glad your ok either way

Cool. You could add a plate that says "whoa" and add some exhaust tips and some black letter inserts for the "corvette" on the back. Yes, start modding your wall-vette

I just got that email today!! I'm guessing that driver did not survive!
