Default Wanting something diffrent for the rear of my 4th gen

Well I am new here but just purchased my first 4th Gen from a friend. I am redoing the body and updating to the LS front end and want to change the rear bumper to something different. I found this rear fascia and was wondering if anyone had any experience with this part? Maybe some more pictures so I can decide.http://www.ebay.com/itm/1993-2002-Chevrolet-Camaro-Duraflex-ZR-Edition-Rear-Bumper-Cover-1-Piece-/371398324985?hash=item567910b2f9&vxp=mtr

Opinions or suggestions would be appreciated.

There's a thread in the appearance and detailing section I've been following about this bumper. Nobody has gotten it painted and installed yet.

I've seen the other thread on this bumper also. From what I read for other cars, the duraflex bumpers are hit or miss on fitment. And from looking at that listing the seller don't seem to confident about fitment. "Returns will NOT be accepted for opened items." So if it doesn't fit right looks like you're SOL. Wait for another guinea pig or find another seller that will actually allow you to take the item out of the box, determine if it's **** or notand decide if you want to return it.

^^Just what he said,, or be ready to shell out tip top dollar$ on a reputable custom body shop to fit finish modify paint and install. I am in that boat right now with the 6LE designed/Extreme Dimension produced 93-97 Super Car front bumper.Multiple shops said they couldn't do it, so to get it done right I am paying more than double to have it installed correctly and painted than the bumper itself cost, and the bumper wasn't cheap***

I can not stress more do NOT buy that bumper. ED makes it themself and really don't seem to care it doesn't fit. We pay extra to use a new factory through them for better fitment but at the cost it's not going to be OEM unless it costs $2k.

Regardless, the bumper you linked is complete garbage for fitment. We tried FIVE, all FIVE couldn't be fit AT ALL.

Such a bummer really because it looks good in the renders.

Also, Extreme Dimension once told the shop where my car is to "cut it in half and figure it out" over a different customers bumper. They don't mess with ED products but being that one shop lied to me and I drove over 100 miles, they agreed to look at it, and with my story of it being designed by a different company and only produced by ED they agreed to do it, for $,$$$.$$ If it works out, it will all be worth it to me*

That really is a shame, because after looking at the rendering above- I'll admit that I really like it as well!! Extremely sharp; reminds me of the CME Exhaust, but different and unique in it's own way.

Looks pretty good but like posted above the first thing I would question would be its fitment.

the rendering looks good, but in a different thread a guy posted a pic of one being installed and the sides of the bumper near the bottom just didn't flow or look as good as they do in the rendering.

Those pics that were linked in that other thread are now broken. I was geeked about this too until I read more on the fitment/quality and saw actual pics.
