Senical,
After installation, is there any give in the bumper around the nose emblem? I also heard these bumpers are flimsy without good support. Kind of worried about it not holding shape. Have you done any highway driving?

Yes, my car is still mainly a street car. I usually only go to the track to test out a mod or something. The car sees lots of highway/street. Its not a garage queen like alot of guys have. Its been at least around 10k a year since iv owned it. Dont worry you will be fine

Thanks for the info, it's more than enough and it's nice to know you have done everything I was wandering about. Between this and your input on the SSRA in another thread, it looks like I will have orders to place in the near future.
@ vert Thanks, I still try to see between her finger tips

The MWC supports actually contact the fascia and do the job they are advertised to do... support it! There are other "bumper supports" on the market that do not contact the fascia and sag is still an issue.
We do have the 93-97 Camaro model available with or without fog light mounts now as well!

Do these allow easy/easier fitment of a Procharger intercooler? Thought about ordering the front and rear supports this week.

The nose of the bumper sits on top of the support just like the stock one.
The "parachute affect" I consider to be non-existant. The bumper does not stick out in the air (like a scoop) so it rushes by the bumper. Of course I have no data to back that up but i'v been installing ductwork for 15 years so I have a good idea what to expect from the air. I wouldnt worry about any "parachute affect"

Yeah I get how it fits inside the bumper. But does anything mount up top where the three or four push pins are on the top of the bumper? Or do you need to use the stock piece of plastic to mount to that part?
