If this gets done, im gonna seriously consider going back to the LT1 front clip. Bump to get 2 more bumpers for the mold to be made! Love to have this as an option for when I get bored with my Camaro and need to change something.
Holy sheot i like it, is it gonna be like the oem flex style plastic?
i need a new front end, if this will fit perfect i want it, tax return is on the way
would u do half now and half on delivery?
Just noticed this thread today and im hoping i can get in on it i see u said by frday tho, did u green light it?

Dont feel bad, fellas. This is what happens on all our attempts to bring things to fruition..... one guy says he likes it, then another. Soon everyone "likes it", but no one wants to buy it. We have meetings 2-4 times a week about parts, but sometimes we decide they aren't worth it, since you all dont think it's worth it.
Even just getting 5 people to buy these bumpers is tough, and look at how many pages of people said they'd "buy it in a heartbeat" if it could happen....well, it CAN happen. Those are the same people who keep us from making other parts for our cars too.
Funny story:
We at 6LE have so many prototype parts at the shop, that he (Mark) doesn't remember half of them until I ask him what this and that is....then he goes: "oh yeah, I made it to try, but no one wanted to buy it" then it goes back to the shelves and we start all over again. That even just happened recently with the GTO gauges..... he had them and I asked why they weren't installed in a car yet. His response was that he didn't have a cluster to try them in, then I pulled a cluster out of the same box, he was shocked and asked where it came from, and I said "right here...WITH the never seen overlay". We installed it that day and moved on with them.
What I'm trying to say is that if you guys dont make it happen, we can't make it happen. We've got tons of **** everywhere because people want something and we prototype it, then everyone flakes, and the F-body community loses yet another part they might've liked/wanted.
Just put your money where you mouths are. Talk is cheap fellas. If you really wanted LT stuff, you'd buy it already. 1 person already has, but you can't complain later that there are no parts for your cars when right now is the time to make it happen and get a badass piece that there will only be 5 of and the 6litereater name to back it. Go find another company willing to put out new car parts on the market today for our 9-13 year old cars.... Let me help you with the answer: You won't.
Sorry for the rant, it's late and i'm tired, lol.
/rant.
*EDIT* - 9-18 year old cars.

I was outside working on mine the other day & my neighbors kid rode up on his bike & was asking me about the car, I told him it was a 99' & he said "Oh, thats the year I was born!" Thats when it hit me how old these cars are...
