It's pretty much done. I'm really just working on getting the symmetry of both sides even. Do your guys have an easy way of doing that?

Divide the bumper in half down the middle, tape it off. Fill a tub will silicone rubber. Spray releasing agent all over. Dip the bumper, according to directions, take it out let it dry, peel off the silicone, flip it inside out, fiberglass it, make a mold, you have a mirrored side to the original side, they will meet in the middle, it will be semetrical. You know what we do in design school? This doesnt have anything to do with yours sorry, but we only make half the model car, and then we glue it to a mirror. It costs half as much to make and it still looks the same. Its really cool, check it out

Sounds like it will just end up with an almost finished bumper cut in half that may or may not fit because it may or may not have been cut dead center...

I've never bought it locally, just google it. You can do some COOL stuff with it lol! Like make prosthetics and your own masks for halloween etc, i'm an actor and we use it a lot. Ive had claws for demon hands and elf ears and they just dip your body part in there, well, thats a long story but its cool!

Sorry, i didnt mean to cut your bumper in half by any means. You can use it to make both sides of the bumper, makin an entirely new bumper. It wount be perfect of course its not like you canjust pop it out of the mold and bolt it up! But it gives you a semetrical base that you can then finish and it gets you to a good starting point.

Eventhough I cannot afford this bumper right now, I would love to see it become a reality. I really think this project has tons of potential to the camaro market. Keep us updated! I'll most certainly be a future buyer if this thing gets done!!
