Default POLL: Would you buy this.

I am thinking about making this bumper for production. I just want to get a feel of how many people would be interested in a bumper like this if it were available. Last time i checked i believe the OEM bumpers went up in price a good bit. I believe i can make them cheaper than the stock ones. Thanks again.

It's basically the same as stock, right? Just the lower vent hole is longer. I think the stock ones flow a little better. Its cool though.

I most likely wouldn't because it isn't that much different than the stock. Add a chin spoiler to the bottom since that bumper is flatter than stock and I think it would look even sicker! Then, I'd probably consider it.

If you could produce one with a well-done lip spoiler...i'd be at the top of the waiting list...no BS.

I agree with everyone, a lip will make it stand out. The way it sits now you would have to have another trans am side by side to barely notice the difference...
