Price you pay for low production custom pieces. As you can tell more than a few people found them worth the $..can't wait to mount mine on my 96Z28.

^^Yup. Plus its not like 6LE is a giant corporation pumping out **** tons of these so he can make more off less. Hes a fellow enthusiast who will make what WE want so how is it not worth it? What other company will do that unless your a millionare?

Because the market is so filled with different bumpers right? The prices are more than reasonable for what you are getting

Well time to dust off the plastic welder and make something for myself haha. Im not a fan of fg bumpers, crack too easily if you bump something or someone bumps you.

Thanks for the kind words everyone... As far as cracking, this is made of duraflex, a flexible fiberglass.

Had it on my blue car, scraped it, bumped it, etc... No cracks.

Mine was just delivered. Can't mount it yet as if anyone has noticed or not, you have to drill your own mounting slots. So for fitment issues, it'll be up to you or you shop as to how well it'll fit. Mine had a slight crack on the left eye where the bumper slides into the front part of the 1/4 panel...nothing that a body shop can't fix. The headlight area that's painted black, the driver side isn't as well defined as the ps where it curves but that too can probably be worked over by the body shop, it just looks like the mold maybe didn't cure right on mine at least because when looking at the photos in this thread his looks dead on. I can't complain one bit though for my own personal reasons.

Thanks 6LE for doing this for us!

I have the LS1 version. 6LE products rock, and their customer service is top notch. I wish I could have bought this before I did my front end conversion.

The bumper is awesome, I want one now! I cant wait to see some more pics. How long is the wait on shipping by the way? I didn't catch that throughout the reading. Nice design for sure 6LE!

You'll see what I'm talking about when you get yours. Unless I just got unfortunate and it was something they left out and wasn't a quality check before shipping. You have two slots on each side of the the bumper that the bumper goes through where you have studs on the frame of the car in which it goes into. The 7 holes that hook up on the front of the bumper w/ the plastic tabs are not drilled out nor are the head light tabs. Really it isn't a big deal, nothing tape used as a template and done yourself.

Also, it's probably straightforward, but I can't visualize how you'd mount the fog lights? I haven't had my bumper cover off in years.

Here's the homemade bumper in the video https://ls1tech.com/forums/paint-bod...er-w-pics.html

I picked mine up this afternoon and even before I let the guy leave my sight I pulled it out of the box to inspect it! I see exactly what you mean, I have no holes drilled in mine as well and like it you said a good body guy can make those match up with ease. I will post up some more pictures tomorrow when I pull it out of the box at home.




Lol someone needs spell check.

But in all seriousness big thanks to Mark for sticking his neck out there and doing this for the LT1 guys. I was going to sell this car because I just wanted something different but after getting this bumper and driving it all week I am really excited to continue to make it a one of a kind! (along with the other 16 guys lol).

Thats what I have been battling with every since I found out the bumper was on its way. The LS1 fogs bolt to a bracket on the LS1 headlights which clearly the LT1 lights don't have so I think I will need to fab something to make them bolt in as well as extend the wiring harness to make them functional.
