Z06 front bumper conversion
Considering someone just conveniently backed into the front of my car I am now thinking of adding the aftermarket Z06 front bumper . I have stock fenders all around and just want to add the bumper only. Has anyone used Ecklers aftermarket Z06 front bumper on a C6???. I want to make sure it will be a perfect fit with no overlapping and the quality of the product is good. I am extremely OCD so if its junk it will **** me off.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

It is basically a regular C6 bumper with a Z06 scoop built into it (fiberglass).
I have seen a few forum member's that have this and they looked good. I have no idea how much work the body shops had to do to get them to look/fit right.

Do a search. Forum member "arrowhead" has a yellow C6 'vert that has a C7(a forum vender) Z06 style front bumper. It looks very good but I don't know how the fit/finish was before the body shop got done with it.

No, I believe he is talking about Eckler's fiberglass Z06 'style' bumper that is made to fit the narrow body fenders, not an OEM ZO6 bumper.

Just FYI, the SIC Motorsports Z06 style bumper is another option that is a urethane bumper. I had one on my C6 before I did the front conversion.
It fit pretty good but I did some 'prep' work on it (for the fog light fitment) before I took it to the body shop.
Some people don't like that it has a built in splitter that makes the ground clearance a little less (or just don't like the look).
