I’m assuming you want a wide-body-style bumper for your base model without changing to wide-body front fenders?

Veloz Designs has really good reviews and feedback for his rear spoiler, but I haven’t seen anything for the front bumper.

Duraflex has a lot of bad reviews for fitment of various body parts.

Haven’t seen or heard anything about the other two. If you wanted to do it right with the OEM bumper and fenders, the OEM bumper is cheaper than what those various vendors are advertising.

Standard C6 Bumper With Z06 Style Scoop - For Standard Fenders -Direct Bolt On (tkoperformance.com)
I know nothing about the other bumpers listed, but I can tell you about the one we list.
This particular bumper was our idea/design from many years ago.. We did it for the person who wanted that more custom, aggressive look without trying to look like a Z06. The other advantage was it was the same height as stock so it wasnt lower and had you spending half your season in the body shop for bottoming out.

We don't actually manufacture it but its made for us. At this time the bumper is about 6 weeks out.
Its an aftermarket part. And like all aftermarket parts you can't just mount it and go. You will have to fit and finish.
Transfer all your stock GM parts over (grill, lights..etc).
Its for stock fenders. Not z06 fenders. (Theres is a kit for that too)
We have been selling it for years. Most of the pictures on our site are customers cars.
Good luck with whatever you decide.

Have yet to get the bumper installed on my C6 but seems to be well made.
Company does respond via messaging if need be.
Shipping company will get your bumper to your doorstep asap.
The overall price is very affordable.

Slim chance at an old thread - Did you ever get this installed? Is the FRP better than Duraflex, or the same junk?

How did the body shop like the quality? Easy prep and finish?
