I believe they are talking about all the mounting holes for the top of the bumber where it mounts under the hood that are the push pin style retainers that more or less bolt/secure to the light housing bracket. The other holes not available I think they are talking about is where its riveted in the light area in the corners.

and yeah were talking about those holes and the ones at the bottom of the bumper which the LS1's might not come with to from the factory.

Here is what I am talking about. They are not drilled out but you can see most of them where they need to be drilled out except for the ones the go on the studs. On mine the corners are rounded out too and not too sure how hard or easy it will be to get that done. Aside from that like I've said before I've got nothing negative to say as you made it happen!

Instead of fog lights you could always put a flexible tube in there to cool the brakes, depending on what you do with the car of course....

i picked mine up friday night and took my stock one off to test fit saturday. Overall it turned out great, but i think mine set up bad from the mold as the top half quality is poor. headlight pocket point was missing on the drivers side, and the outer headlight accent and seam are smudged to hell. i think it was just a screw up on just mine

Better than I thought, couldn't get mine to fit at all w/out breaking it at the headlight accent area. The issues you described are identical to mine so you aren't the only one. PS the fit is off on yours, do you think you can get that lined up better.

Did yours come w/ the ebmossed chevy logo on there too and you just painted it red?

Looks good on your car! Can't wait to see a finished product on someone's car.

It's just sitting on there. I Havnt drilled it or anything so the fender studs are keeping it from sitting flush. It Unless I drill the fender stud holes, I wont onow for sure.
The bowtie is off another car I stuck it on real quick to see how it looked

wow i'm glad i didn't order one, i actually don't like it now. Maybe when it's painted but for that price it should fit near perfect imo, little disappointing that holes still have to be drilled etc....

Well I drilled my holes for the fender studs perfectly but there is no way I'll get mine on. Glad yours fits. Really surprised 6LE hasn't been on here after answering his question. Sent an email too but no reply yet...assuming he's busy.

That's what everyone wanted when he was polling whether to make it or not.

i think it looks great. i also bought one. my first one came cracked in 1 2 3 yes 4 spots lol stupid shipping company. customer service top notch they sent me another one and i received it a week later. guess what? also cracked. Also its different than the first bumper i received.. the corners that the pics above show how its shaved off rounded. i wont deal with that, they need the points or it will not line with the hood correctly. my first bumper came with the points and not rounded....

can you take pic of side angle and a low front view pic, please. Can you put foglights on this bumper under the corner lens or no? Is there an issue with the bumper or no?
