Hi all, I'm doing body work for my LS conversion. I have been searching for a bumper that looks good but also will flow proper air to the radiator. I'm not 100% sold on the looks of the 916GT bumper, but I know that by using one, I'll have plenty of air flow.
If I do choose this bumper, I'm not sure to fill in all the gaps or leave it as a bolt on bumper. I have seen a few pictures with this bumper as a bolt on configuration but not many pictures with no body gaps. Has anyone done this conversion and happen to have pictures of the gaps bondo'ed smooth? |

I eliminated the rear gaps in the 916 bumper but have not done the front 100% yet. I prefer a bolt on bumper.
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i719.photobucket.com-626-1307840093.4.jpg) I believe SirAndy has his molded in. If you dont like the 916 bumper you can go with the GT fiberglass bumper with the cutout and the same lower valance, then just make the cutout larger on the top for the radiator. |
