I hope nobody has that, that is butt ugly. If you want something different look at the ZR1 style bumper.

Not my taste, but I am pretty sure I saw one or two members with that bumper. TTT

I have a picture of one on somebodys vette, i'll try and send it to you, by the way vanacor has 2 different versions for cheaper. I am looking into one for my vette but I can't decide. They look best with two red lights in the back and no reverse lights.

That's not butt ugly. That's kind of nice looking.

Les,
I have no pics of that but I welded plates onto the gas tank supports and bolted the NOS bottle brackets to those. I think I used 3/16"x2" flat stock. The gas tank was out at the time because I was installing the outlets to the fuel pumps.

I thought it would be butt ugly when I saw the bumper by itself but once it is on the grey vette I think it looks pretty cool!
