thats the company that will make them, idk how much shipping would be all i know is that bumper is the ****. but prob not gonna happen since only 3 of us including myself have paid up already. and he needs 5 by sunday. says if he cant sell 5 then theres no market for the lt1 bumper.
I might have to learn bodywork lol

Re: New Front bumper possible for LT1 Camaro
yea the wait time sucks but the price isnt bad at all especially for a 1 off bumper. just thinking about down the road when i do a turbo setup. cant wait to put a bigass front mount in there. and use the fog light holes as brake ducts to cool off my c5 brakes

I normally don't like the Ultra-Z hood, but maybe that's the only reason this kind of looks right to me... it balances out pretty well.

Photoshop wouldn't do that bumper justice but I know it would look amazing if done right. If it ever does get produced as we're still waiting on 2 more buyers, it's gonna sell like, no doubt about it. Tempted to buy the remaining two just to get this thing started as I'm the 3rd buyer as it stands now.

Re: New Front bumper possible for LT1 Camaro
His price is actually much lower than it should be IMO. Can you imagine how many hours of labor it's going to take somebody to sculpt this bumper, make a mold, make casts, finish them however thoroughly they will, and possibly even primer them?
Low production stuff has to be expensive to cover the cost of making it, that's partially why Lamborghini and other exotic cars are so expensive. You're not splitting the cost of production among 100,000 buyers, you're splitting the cost with say, 4,000 buyers. On something like this, you're not exactly paying for a product. You're paying for the service and reimbursing for expenses and a portion of the hours it takes the guy(s) to make the bumpers.
My graphic design business is the same way. You're not paying for a brochure or website(product). You're paying for me to custom design them for you (service).
In this particular situation, I think 6LE is just looking for some money to help him pay the massive amount he'll have to pay to get these produced, and over time, he hopes that he'll sell enough to eventually profit.
If you think you want one of these, you should definitely pay now.
