Is the price still $516 even if only 5 people paid up? And what design is being leaned towards, 1 or 2?

I bet you would have a lot more people willing to put up some money if we could at least see a proto type of the bumper. I know I would buy one but I like to see what im getting not just a photo shop job. I know these would sell!

Prototypes are too expensive & time consuming if a product is not going to sell. If five people aren't willing to take a chance on creating a new product neither are we.

Would the grill opening be as big as the 98-02 ? or nice and simple like the 93-97's? Lets say someone would front the money for 5-20 pre paid bumpers and the quailty turned out to be of oem standard could they sell them at higher cost?

I look at it this way, most guys are more than willing to spend 500+ on a hood anyway, and everyone has that look now with either a factory or aftermarket hood....

If we get this to go, how many people will be able to say they have a well done lt1 bumper too! it would really something and people would look and wonder what is cool and different about this lt1 car. WE have an opportunity to get something very unique here. That's why I signed up and wish more guys would to so that we can get this party started

You would loose that bet. You are looking at what the bumper will look like. If the prototype/production piece doesn't look like that then you get your money back.

SO, if you "know you would buy one" then buy one...

Don't mean to single you out but it was just easier to address the things said in your post.

Here's the reality, 10 pages of "people who want to buy" and only 2 people stepping up to pay AFTER I extended it ANOTHER week.

Sad thing is I'm probably just going to have to refund the two orders on Sunday and withdraw from this thread. To the two people who have let their money sit in our hands for the past few weeks if you want to purchase anything else from us (valances, wheels, exhaust, gauge plates, etc... we have plenty of stuff for LT1s) then I'll give you a great deal for your willingness to man up on this...

OP hasn't even contacted me for one (that I know of)...

This is past dead in the water

Probably a waste of time . Mark said he would use a standard LS1 grill opening , so you guys would beable to have the LS1 grill options . So here a photoshop of design 1 that all you guys wanted , with a standard LS1 grill opening . I did not alter the shape of the grill at all while chopping , so this pic should be dead on to what the final bumper would look like .

Photoshop my chit! Fug it, I'm in 6LE, you only live once. Tell me where to send it. How many we need now? I want it just like above and not McNord's style. His looks good don't get me wrong but that's not what I'm after. The one above.
