Hey Fellas,
I saw this car at SEMA in Las Vegas. Looking for this front bumper. Need to replace mine and want to get this one. I know it’s fiberglass and the front plate filler appears to be molded in. Anybody know this part or the car?
Definitely the ACP bumper. As mentioned, the full one-piece model. They have a two-piece model with removable lower spoiler, which is more popular. Eckler's offers an exact replica at a lower price. I know a few guys who buy the Eckler's bumper and then run any aftermarket lower spoiler and splitters made to fit the ACP bumper. Tway Motorsports, for example, offers some nice splitters that fit both the ACP and the Eckler's.
Danny Popp uses the Eckler's version with a race splitter on his track beast:
Thanks for the help guys. I will be giving ACP a call.
If you don't mind when you call, find out if the widebody front fenders are required to run that one piece front fascia in your photo from SEMA.
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.
Check out the hood, on Danny Popp's car. Black Dog Speed Shop?
Yet another valuable reference from the corvette forum. Thanks! That is one might fine looking hood. Must admit, sacrilegious or not, on this hood I think paint looks better than exposed C/F weave.

Actually, Danny uses the carbon ACP bumper on that car.
When did he sell his Eckler's bumper and ACP splitter? I would have bought the pair from him.
No, he didn't sell them. Danny has two 03 Z06's. His text above is for his road race car. His Optima car that you posted pics of has the carbon ACP bumper.

Might be the other way around. His above FB comment was from the Optima car photo post below. Sounds like the Optima car is wearing the Eckler's, based on the photo and his comments below it. I am not arguing, by the way. LOL
Regardless, I know the bumpers are virtually identical. The original ACP carbon version would be sweet.

He got the carbon ACP bumper on the Optima car because of the D&E portion of the Optima series. More "bling" is better for that segment.
