ZL! Bumper Conversation

Does anyone have information on doing a bumper change/conversation. I am looking at the Duraflex - ZL1 Style Version 2 Fiberglass Front Bumper. Was wondering if there is any needed to be done before or does it just snap right on??

Here is the link to what I am looking at:

Stay away from all duraflex parts for any make or model car. It’s just a pain in the ass and requires lots of work beyond the average for proper fitting. I see it 1 to many times...word of advice

I'm not looking at the 5th gen ZL1 conversation. I'm trying to find a custom Gen 6th bumper conversation kit to fit my 5th gen Camaro

Ikonmotor sports has them on amazon and eBay but not their site and only have them with a set of headlights with square Halos.

1ssbritt just did a 6th Gen bumper conversation on a '14. It looked like it turned out well. That was an Ikon. I'd take a look at their recent thread..

https://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=551878

..and have a conversation with that person on the way they went about doing their bumper conversation.
