options for front bumper
Ok So I'm gonna be replacing my front bumper, so I just wanted to know. What are my options? I think the bill for it comes to about 1k, so anything around there. I would love to put on the z06/grandsport front bumper but I know you cant do that without changing the front fenders as well. What are my other options in that price range? (after-market or not). Thanks!

Hows the quality of it? I know I have an aftermarket hood, and the quality of it compared to stock is junk. It would cost 1300+ for me to block out all the wavyness and repaint. Dont want that to happen again but with front bumper

If you have a good shop doing the work, it should turn out great. Mine did.
Do a search on the forum. There are several members who have this bumper.

That is a great looking piece. CIANCI (another vendor) has a ZO6 front piece with a interchangable splitter that they are designing now and will post pics soon. They are asking $505 for the first 30 people.

My bumper got damaged and insurance is paying to replace it(you can see my other threads if your interested in what happened). So I am torn on what to do. I like the z06 front bumper better so for the same price why wouldnt I, but at the same time I know aftermarket is alot of times worse quality than OEM, and my front bumper deff takes alot of damage from the road and speed bumps. So I am worried about that as well.
Wonder how much it shipping from NC costs

Don't know about shipping to AZ. I would guess around $100-150. I'm trying to sell mine for $300. A OEM bumper is at least $700-750 + shipping charges.
If insurance is paying to get it fixed, I would just put it back to stock. JMO

yea that might be what I'll have to do... Im not worried that its lower, as I have my car lowered and I like the lowered look. Im worried on its ability to take abuse and flex from everything encountered during daily driving...
