ZL Front Fascia On The V6. - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Sky · 01-20-2013, 06:25 AM

Hey guys like the title suggests I'm interested in changing out my front fascia from my 2011 2LT/RS to a ZL1. However there are so many distributors that I'm not sure who is trustworthy and how I should get it. For the most part I understand that I'm going to have to purchase it and take it to a body shop so they can paint it and install it for me. However since I'm still new to all this can anyone give me some links to a good and trusted vendor and a possible approximation of how much this will ll cost please

I know Gary's Customs does good quality work with good service. He is a vendor on here.

Good luck on the swap I just found a front bumper near where i live for $160.00 but still need all the other parts (impact bar, absorber, wire harness, and fog lamps) and i still have to cut the bumper to sit flush with my hood so $160.00 is a great steal but gonna spend alot more on paint& parts

Just so you know, when it's all said and done it's going to be about 1100 without paint. You can buy it from 2SSRS here who is the owner of gen5diy.com or you can get it already painted. Gary's Customs sells them already painted and with the hood lines fixed on here as well. Both guys are real trustworthy and put out top notch products.

You dont need the impact bar there the same on all cars, you need the absorber, Support,DRL Retainer X 2,R Bezel,L Bezel, Lower Grill,New fog lights X2, and hardware for it all and yes a way to make it all work.

he sells all you need. also an option to fix the cowl lines and paint. gen5diy.com i cant recommend it enough. seriously one cool guy and a great and honest vendor. did it and it looks great, also corrects some of the aero issues i had with my ss front end.

gen5diy.com you got to check out.

Sky · 01-21-2013, 01:41 AM

Thanks for all the input guys. Appreciate it

! I think I'm going to check out Garys Customz for now because of the pre painted and lines and I'm still beginning so the simpler it is for me to tell someone to put it on there or for me to do it myself the better!

dangjohnny · 01-21-2013, 04:23 AM

gen5diy is what I used, got ofer's hud kit too

blackTT600 · 01-22-2013, 06:35 AM
