Question Aftermarket Rear Bumper

Has anyone seen or heard of an aftermarket rear bumper for a ls1 camaro?

I wanted to get rid of that huge dust gathering ledge in the back of the car and kind of make it look the the rear end of a C5 vette? anyone have any ideas?

would this take away the 5mph bumper? looking at it, looks like you will have to take a piece of the metal bumper off...

thanks in advance

The only variation that I've seen are the European spec Camaros. They have a larger license plate pocket to accomodate the wide plates used overseas.

The euro cars sure are neat. Here is a pic of a euro TA rear. I believe the camaro is the same shape as the US just a wider license area. So neither of those are what you are looking for.

Even the few aftermarket rears still have that outward bulge. So, AFAIK, you would have to make it yourself.

I love the way the euro rear bumpers look. The foglights that are on there just make it stand out. I migh try and get one for my camaro sometime down the road. It would be different.
