So it looks like the lines match up with the ZL1 front bumper or did you have them moved at the body shop?

I had them moved when I ordered the bumper from Gary's customs.

Check with emblempros and you can get a customized emblem to fit there. Probably won't cost much. Maybe a "ZLS" or something like that...

I like LG's hood. EDIT: Just found out that it is $2400.


Second picture is Anvil's hood. Don't have a link but saw it on Facebook.
Unfortunately anvil didnt make the whole hood, just the zl1 part is a separate bolt on or glue on piece lol. Kind of cheesy.

I believe the best options are still the ACS insert with the GM ZL1 hood or the Ebay ZL1 reproduction

I know this may sound like blasphemy, but I'm wondering if you can retain the stock SS grill with the ZL1 front end?

I'm assuming this is the case judging from the parts layout diagram.
