Mark gave us the chance to do a custom front bumper for the 93-97 cars and this is what we wanted? Not hating the bumper its amazing but Im surprised nothing else was brought up.

that looks awesome...like a top half of an LT1 bumper and bottom half of an ls1 bumper.

Do you know if the it is closer to the ground than the stock lt1 bumper cover? I ask because I'm lower and barely clear things now.

Yep, buying another LT1 Z28.

My biggest complaint about the front end of a LT1 Camaro was the fog lamp styling looked too similar to a 3rd Gen Camaro. I strongly prefer the modern LS1 Camaro fog lamp styling to the LT1/3rd gen. This bumper cover is a game changer for me. I have been planning back and forth to buy a LS1 Camaro for the longest time but I can't get over the owning a pair of catfish eyes. Yeah you can make a LS1 sexy and I admire them. However, the LT1 Camaro black eyes look much more masculine and threatening.

The Lt1 Z front end is so intimidating and now with the larger grille area I think it is a MAJOR uplift.
Now you will have ALOT more room to add a better ram air set up for.those of us using the Ls1 lid set up and for those who have intercoolers you can now get more air to it! Win win situation...........

I like how it looks in the photoshop, but when i scroll back and forth it looks like the lower edge of the bumper is a lot sharper there than it is on the actual part.

Will an LS1 grill mount into this?

I really like the looks of that front bumper (LTx / LSx). I wonder if they have considered something like this for the LT1 T/A's?

I agree with that, the LT1 WS6 Trans Am is probably the best looking TA out there!

Will look even more menacing with round projector lights instead of the rectangles. Kinda like zombie eyes.
And a ultra z hood will set it off
Thats how i would make mine if got another lt1 body ever again, but with ls power of corse

I agree with the T/As for sure but I think something needs to be worked out with the 93-97 firebird/formula bumper. Somedays I don't mind my bumper and somedays I wish it wasn't so damn pointy, maybe have some foglights or maybe had a bigger lip on the bottom side like this LS1/LT1 camaro bumper. Idk I'd like to do some photoshops of some redesigns.
