I say do it too. Your car looks great would look even better with the ZL1 grille.

Thanks to a lot of people on Camaro5 and a bigger thank you to Ofer for helping me transform ...

I just noticed you added black paint, or vinyl to the area around the fog light bezels, looks great!

No way would I pay $1500.00 for a plastic insert that goes in a $600.00 hood!!!

I'll probably end up just getting one of these: http://tinyurl.com/6nvxqem

There this one...http://suncoastcreations.com/a-che-c...ood-21023.html

But it matches to the SS cowl lines and I'd have get my fascia's lines redone to match but I will not pay $2,000 for a hood thats unpainted.

That is a hood not an insert, And will soon see if the GM insert fits on an LS3 with a 2300 on top.

Man with all of these ZL1's arriving and the conversions happening I might have to order my setup so I save myself $65k from buying a ZL1

I don't see why it wouldn't. But why on earth should the insert cost almost 3x the price of a hood??? Are the inserts handmade by Tibetan monks???

It's almost like someone accidentally put an extra zero on the price making a $150.00 part $1500.00, and when someone actually bought one, they figured, what the hell, let's see if we can sell more at the price...

I mean sh!t, you can get the whole front end: facia, lights, bezels, grilles, wheels wells, harnesses, fasteners etc, for less than a simple molded plastic hood insert??? Something just doesn't add up here...
