Danny finally replied to my message. That clears things up, and also means I won't be getting the Eckler's version. LOL

Member @C5R_KenB has the ACP bumper on the front of his car and it looks amazing. I love anything that looks good and still serves function

He is right, those molds are not the best. I got one 2 years ago from them and it wasn't the greatest fit. BUT... if you have a good body man, he won't cuss at you THAT bad.

My body guy is good, but that's why he DOES cuss at me. LOL "Why did you bring me this cheap piece of crap?!"

The C5 in your picture doesn't appear to have wide front fenders, but I wasn't aware they made one that would fit OEM front fenders.
Called ACP to order my bumper. It is available to fit for a car with stock fenders. The nose comes in either a 1 or 2 piece design. The 2 piece is recommended for street cars so that the lower splitter portion can be replaced if necessary. Also, the license plate area can be either a removable panel/cover or embossed for appearance only. Hope this helps for others looking to get this.

Thank you for the info Bandit.
Hope you’ll post some pics and a review on fitment and quality.

The 2 piece makes sense to me. I’ve had to remove my ACI splitter and have it repainted due to rock chips before. That’s gonna happen if you drive a car, period, but it’s pretty easy to remove and reinstall.

I run the ACP two piece on the race car, comes up about half way and held on with quick release 1/4 turn fasteners. Works well for the race car. Name:  photo392.jpg

That looks like the undertray that attaches to the stock nose. With the 2 piece bumper, the removable section is down much lower. Look at the up close pic of the burgundy cat further up the thread. That is the bumper/splitter combo I ordered.
