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? |

You could go the route Rob did for his GT look.
Well, Really Mark did it and then told Rob about it. Rob's Front Bumper Jim |

This front end has been used with 283, 383, and LS Chevy's, all of which stayed at 180 pretty easily.
