Do that to a Heritage grill, then you're in business.

I can't tell if your agreeing with the general consensus or siding with the OP...

Love the new avatar! You know, somewhere out there is a guy who spent the last 6 months of his life fabbing up a completely new front bumper with a grill opening half as wide... Poor guy probably spent countless days and many sleepless nights of research and development to get the opening narrowed down just where he likes it, narrowing and modifying his headlights and parking lights, cutting and shaping things to reflect his "vision" of what the ideal Camaro facia should be...He probably even has a center bowtie emblem sawed in half laterally, and sitting on the shelf awaiting it's future home.... The ONLY thing he hasn't been able to come up with is the upper half of a melted together stock grill to fit the new opening he created...

This is probably the answer to his prayers, and the crowning jewel to his project. Free bump in hopes that guy is out there and finds this defining piece to his dream.

I almost did this same thing, but vertically. I just didnt have enough vision to figure it out.

Just buy a ZL1 grille and it will look like the grille in a 2014 Camaro ZL1...

Redvert13ZL1 · 09-07-2013, 09:49 AM

Wow what a jerk! Yeah I wouldn't buy anything that hasn't been test fitted nor would I buy anything that has some plastic welded lines like that.

ben3350 · 09-07-2013, 03:53 PM

OP, what do you expect from us? This may be a fantastic workaround to getting an older camaro to look like a 2014, but nobody is going to just buy it based on those pictures and no proof that it will work. Thats how sales work, you cant just say you have an awesome idea and expect people will buy it. We do not lack vision, we do however have common sense.

Tell you what OP, I'll make you an offer. $5 shipped. If it doesn't work as you say, at least I can put it in my garage and have a little smile on my face everytime I walk by it.

beany323 · 09-07-2013, 07:26 PM

is that 5 shipped? hmmm....

OP I am really excited to see where this goes. Thanks for the great business idea !
