New Front bumper possible for LT1 Camaro

On ls1tech one member LT4vert photoshopped a diff style front end on an lt1 camaro. It included ls looking fog lights on the sides splitter style lower and ls1 type grill.

I thought the pic looked pretty cool and a few others did as well. 6LITEREATER posted up that if he got 5 pre paid orders he would make 5 of them. I liked it so much i paid up before he abandons the idea.

heres the link to LT4vert's photoshoped front end,

LT4vert's original design:


EDIT This is the closes pic LT4vert made with the ls wich would be better for buying dif grills

Looks similar to a sniper or sarona kit.

Re: New Front bumper possible for LT1 Camaro

To be honest, I don't think it's possible to improve upon the LT1 front bumper. There's nothing wrong with it and it's gorgeous as-is.

Hey, and he used a picture of our car lol!

Re: New Front bumper possible for LT1 Camaro

That's funny, a scan I made a long time ago was posted too.

This is the only front bumper that is even close to an improvement.

^^^yes that one rendition looks horrendous

LT4vert posted up another rendering of a car with the cookie cutter ls1 opening looks even better than the 1st one

I wish i could have a finished product on my car for cruisin week. awesome bumper for a 500rwhp n/a ls powered 95 camaro.

The stock bumper does look perfect, but im just getting tired of it after 8 years, and ground effects are way overplayed. they were the **** back in the late 90's RIP wings west kit. I like the look of a subtle splitter but dont think they look right on the oem bumper, this is the look im looking for

Re: New Front bumper possible for LT1 Camaro

I woke up early today for a car show, but the weather isn't that great, so I decided not to go. For fun, I went ahead and mocked up the race car front bumper with some side skirts and rear valance as well.

In case it's hard to tell what I even changed, here you go.

Re: New Front bumper possible for LT1 Camaro

The more I look at what I did in photoshop, the less I like it. It just doesn't look right without having a hood like the race cars, ducktail spoiler, and different wheels.
