Don't get it prepainted, it will not match. You have to have it painted with the car present

No u don't u have to give them the paint code.

I understand that part but is the quality good

I picked up a pre painted grille for my Silverado from them and a year later the paint is flaking off. They did not primer it, just threw paint on plastic. It looked great when I got it, but it's coming off in the spring to be repainted.

Absolutely not, polypropylene is a pretty subpar quality piece of plastic.

Here's a member's ZL1 front fascia, fitment looks pretty bad.

But hey... you get what you pay for, etc.etc.

Hope to find out more about it

If you're looking to have the paint match i recommend just getting the zl1 bumper from someone like Rogers Chevrolet on camaro5. Messages Maureen or Becky. I ordered my ZL1 bumper swap from them painted and received it with a100% accurate paint match. (Inferno orange Metallic)

Buy it right the first time or end up having spending more money trying to fix it.

I bought zl1 bumper off eBay no problem. I'm actually in the market for one now. The problem with that bumper is the upper grill doesn't come out which is a problem for me because I have a Heritage Grill that I want replacing in the bumper.

It says that all parts are replaceable with Factory replac parts

The only way its going to be a perfect fit and match will be if you buy the OEM ZL1 Fascia. Otherwise, you risk paying the same or even more on a cheaper part to make it fit right.

I paid a bit over twice as much as the one you're showing from ebay, had Gary paint it to match and it fit like a glove... paint matched perfectly, and it was an easy swap.

I've ready horror stories about others who went the cheaper way only to pay much more than what I paid for for mine.

Highly recommend Gary's Custom. You can search this site for more detail on that.
