Rear Fascia Swap Possible??? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Do you think it would be possible to replace the Z/28's rear fascia with a '12-'13 rear fascia from a ZL1? Do you think the connecting points would have changed from the earlier version to the '14? The more I look at the rear of that car...the more I just do not like it. It would be awesome if a good body shop could put the old fascia on the Z/28.

Anything is possible.

You will have to also change the trunk lid since they have a different shape around the tail lights and no indentation between the tail lights on the 14.
It will get very expensive very quickly, unless you could find someone with a 10-13 that would swap parts.
Another thing to consider is the lighting harness will probably be different.

Just so you know the z/28 everyone has seen is a 2013 2SS. The car was disassembled and the z/28 parts added. I know this because I just looked at the car a talked with Scott (fbodfather). The vin started with a 2 meaning Canadian plant and had d9 I the vin for the year. I also ask him about the front fascia. Yes it will fit but you need the new lights also.

Very cool. That will be the solution for me to that ugly back end if I choose to move forward on the Z/28. Thanks for the info.

The VIN and build tag were posted here shortly after its intro. in March.

Why would you want to do that? Make a new car look older? That's dumb!

LOL!! I don't appreciate the "dumb" comment. I think the rear fascia on the '14 model Camaro is ugly. If I have the option of buying a previous model fascia and replacing the current one to suite my taste in what I think is appealing I believe that is my choice and to call it "dumb" reflects poorly upon yourself.

Why don't you just buy a 2013? Save money and get that fine ass end you desire. I agree, the 2014 ass end looks 1997 Honda Prelude, but I wouldn't get a newer car and add older shit on it, just me. (On a side note. I think GM was on crack when they did the facelift on our Camaros. )

Because they do not make a 2013 Z/28.
