Default Shaved Corvette-Style Bumper on a Camaro!!!

Has anyone ever had this done? All youd have to do, I think, is to take off the rear bumper, take out the crunch material and have someone do some fiberglass work to the rear bumper. If anyone has done this let me know. Id like to see some pictures because ive never seen this done before.

I would get the back in, fill in those four sqare things and smooth it down and then it would look decent, the rest of the body kit is hideous!
