Default Weak *** front bumper

seriously guys, the front bumper on all c6 trims look so timid and out dated. It has the bones of a front engine ferrari but a front end that makes the nissan 370z front end look phenomenal.

is there anything out there that can make the c6 look menacing ? like this perhaps ? the europeans sure know what looks good.

That Ferrari looking bumper looks hideous. A C6 is what it is. If you don't like it, why buy one in the first place? Last thing I want to do is pretend I am driving something else other than what it is.

Maybe it looks dated since it is 15 years old. I am going out on a limb here but feel that my mom's '65 Impala looks better than a Model T.

Take the splitter off and it could be a C3 front, minus the pop-up headlights.

The C6 design was perfect during its era. Still is today. All the people who later thought it looks dated, upgraded to the C7, or the new C8. You can do the same. People who wanted something different, modified their vehicle, but this is the first time I heard someone complained publicly about it. They proudly showed it off to everyone once they completed it.

Sounds like you need to buy a European car and not a corvette. Just sayin.

One on the left just needs side skirts and wheel spacers. One on the right has some stuck-on bullshit bumper. Hideous and doesn't fit the lines of the car at ALL. But I guess if you want a sharpened, body-colored, turtle-scoop, you're all set!

Didn't you just post about this same thing?
Yep! Found the other "weak-***" thread: https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...n-options.html
Why not do your research before purchasing a car. Most people at least look at the front bumper before dropping $30K on a car.

Instead of (a weak *** attempt at trolling) talking **** on all of our front bumpers, why not try a search?!

Who knows what you'll find!

That looks HIDEOUS. The C6 is the best looking vette in my opinion especially the wide body- Z06,Grandsport, and the ZR1.

You belong in one of those Datsun's that don't make enough power to get out of their own way while smoking your crack pipe

The bumper itself is not so bad, just the sharp lines don’t match the rest of the C6.

Nothing says rebuilt wreck quite like an aftermarket front end.

The only "weak ***" thing here is the complaint on a C6 enthusiasts forum about the C6.

I bought a '72 Chevelle SS once, Decided the single front headlights looked boring, and the smogged-out 454 was a dog. So, I bought a '70 SS...looked a lot better to me, and was killer fast. THAT is how I fixed it.

When you start adding phony ground effects, fake spoilers, and other fugly crap, all so it will "look menacing", you show you are not really a Corvette enthusiast. Buy something that looks good to you, instead of f'n up a car that is already beautiful.
