Just so you guys know we’ll be trying to get one made as well, ours will be made out of urethane not fiberglass. Also the price will not be crazy, I’d expect it to be in the $899 range.

That’s the plan, try to make it look as oem as possible and also make a couple different lips for it.

It would have to allow for air flow in the lower center for cooling mods to work i think, but dang i like the look. Indo wish the ivan tampi would not have the gray part of the bumper cover. Looks a little busy. I do wonder if it will be a good unit for cooling mods as well.

The Hurican bumper. Might be better for the cooling. The air can still come in through the centre of the bumper. I messaged Ivan on Instagram and asked him if I could get his bumper without that centre moulding and he said no you can't it's part of the bumper... I agree I think it looks way too cluttered... he may have to rethink his design of too many people don't like the looks of it . To me it looks like one of those exotic fish you see in the aquariums smiling at you.

I think it looks pretty good. And JMO, but I don't consider it as someone wanting to be a poser.

I mean. Whether someone thinks you're trying to be a poser or you're not... it's your car and you can do whatever you want with it. Everybody has different tastes and different likes.

The ZR1 front bumper will fit any wide body C7. There is nothing new there but the looks of the bumper.

Are you sure sbout that? The ZR1 does not have wheel spats but the z06 does. Doesnt that mean the zr1 bumper is wider than the z06?

I'm guessing that the demographics for this kit will be the same as the group that thought the louvered C5 and C6 taillight trim looked good...

I get the functionality of the ZR1 bumper on the ZR1 but IMO the Z06/GS bumper is the best looking option of anything on the market, stock or otherwise.

Its more likely that they did away with the wheel spats and had it molded into the front bumper. Just my guess.

I can't wait for this new nose to come out!!!!!


I absolutely LOVE the new ZR1 nose-very Aventador-looking, which is a great thing.


I've always felt as though Corvette has a reputation of having a very "non-descript" nose. It totally prevented me from buying a C6. To me, the C7 nose is better than a C6, but not by much. So this change is VERY welcome, in my view.
