This is a strange coincidence. I was looking through classifieds and there's a silver LT1 Camaro with purple hood scoop like you're wanting to do for sale. Guess it'll give you a preview of the look.

the rear bumper looks sick. it's one of those things that gets the "double take" cause your like damn that looks good and different, but i can't quite notice what's "wrong" in a good way with it. lol. i'm just not feeling the gfx. i think it would look 100x better without them.

CamaroCasanova shaved his rear bumper like that. His was the first show car I remember seeing, and it was about 10 years ago. Such a cool look. He ended up mounting the plate a different way, something that protruded from under the car and bolted to the bottom two holes on the plate.

LOL at that wing, back when Fast and Furious was relevant.

my $0.02 on the paint is #3 with the purple on the wheels.

You posted the "donor bumper" i was like why did he cut those big sections out... then double take - no plate! all those little things are gonna be so killer!

Keep it up!

Thats a cool idea, maybe like a raised bowtie in the middle? Then if you dont have a rear bumper crash support, if the plate cover has studs on the end that go through the bumper, then you can fasten wing nuts on the back side of the bumper to secure it...million dollar idea...I call a free one who whoever makes one since i thought of it first, well kinda second...
