I finally have a hold of an 03-05 LS Sport bumper. And I have had an extra 95-99 Z bumper and 00-02 base model bumper.
Now that I have some supplies to mess with, I'm starting the project for my one of a kind front bumper that I've been talking about for almost a year now.
I hope to finish this project this summer and have the car repainted Sunburst Orange Metallic (which is a factory color).
it's a rough start but the finished product will be good. i know brad(zyaaaa) has something in the mix that is kind of like it but i have a 99 z with 00-02 headlights.

thanks for the comments guys.
but i already have the 03-05 LS Sport side skirts and rear bumper lined up.
plus, when i mold the real lip to the z bumper, i can angle it the way i need it to flow with the side skirts

make me one for me vert? haha
put that rear on....i need a good laugh hehehe
thats gonna look pretty slick man!
IF sides would be better, the 03-05 LS Sport sides just aren't low enough to me...
But I think I will like the way the front will turn out....

My thoughts exactly. With the lip it looks a lot lower than the stock 03-05 LS Sport bumpers. First thing that came to my mind was the IF sides.

thanks everyone for the positive feedback.
i don't know what the Import Fighter sides look like but i've had plans for the car to keep OEM style.
Hince, the "SS" hood, "C5 imitation" wheels, oem style kit all around, and such.
Here's today's progress. One step closer to what i'm working for. Next is making a mold of the 95-99 Z bumper
C & C welcome.

tons of cars have lower fronts and or lips and dont have the skirts to match the length. i front doesnt really matter and doesnt look bad different... idk how to explain it...
i was gonna go with the 03-05's with the same exact front and it would have looked fine.
Riddle me this... riddle me that...

Here's a pic of IF sides with the 03 LS Sport rear:
The IF sides are lower than the LS Sport sides and have a bit more flare to them, but still have a clean "stockish" look. I think they would match great with the hybrid bumper.
Heh ^
Front bumper idea looks good, little too low for my taste but keep plugging!
i really like where this is going. should look awesome when your done.

well, the IF sides are nice but i'm going to throw the LS on like planned. thanks for the pic shadowfire.
i understand what your saying brad. i just love the idea of a full LS Sport kit all around AND keep my Z style bumper up front without another conversion
thank you everyone for all the great comments. More progress coming soon

I had planned on doing something kinda like this, but with the GM '03 kit Vince has, and then grafting a '00 upper for the '00 headlights...... and then taking the '03+ and grafting a '00 bumper in to get rid of the "Wings" under the tail lights.....
Hope yours turns out well!!!

looks interesting. I like the oem style your going for.
Couldn't you cut and fuse all three together? Like AL1A5 is doing with his IF front?
