I agree

Is there any way for you to take one of these pics...





and just blend the bottom half of our bumper (above) onto the LT1? So, from the top of the grille down, our bumper, top of the grille up, LT1 bumper...

I still like Brian's design best

On a side note I always liked Sunoco on LS1 and Harwood on LT1 (and I DON'T like Harwood on LS1, etc...)... I LOVE this guy's car...

Yea Mark I can do that . It wont be till this weekend though, when I get back in town. Can one of you LT1 guys do me a huge favor to save a little time ? Take a very clear high res pic of your car in the exact angle of this pic .....Color doesnt matter, I can improvise there .



It gets tedious and time consuming cropping body parts to look right when the angles are off . I can sometimes blaze thru 2-3 hours looking for the perfect pic to chop off of .

That Silver LT1 car is gorgeous !

it would be an expensive bumper for sure but might be worth it! I'm definitely interested but i would need to see finished product! 6LE bumper is nice but i don't like how square/thick the edge looks near the fog lights it should be more rounded like the original in my opinion!

How much are you willing to pay for uniqueness ?

$350-550 is about the norm for all the other BUTT FREAKIN UGLY ones you can buy now.

I will see what I can do with that one ZL . That one the heigh is correct but the angle is off . I can freehand if I have to , I just dont want to lol

Couple more angles for you guys to play around with to find a matching LT1 car to photoshop. I have more if needed.
