Adding a ZL1 front end to your car.

What if I was to conceal a regular auxilary switch behind the OEM switch. So I push in the stock GM switch which in turn physically pushes an auxilary switch that's mounted behind it and activates the fogs? Is there room behind the dash for something like that?

Should the painting cost more or less than the fascia? sene did the upper absorber and lower support fit? in the v6 thanks

I paid $150 to get mine painted. I've been away from my camaro, and I haven't ordered the lower support yet.

Have you opened one up before? its all electrical in side there is no room for mechanical switch, The electrical switch sends a signal to the BCM to turn on the power, that is how it works, All the wires are the same if you have a camaro, So i need to test if at all times it sending a signal for the HID in my case and if so how to make a harness that i can make work.

How is that Guy and does he want a lot more bumpers to paint.

I'm probably going to go with something like this to solve the issue of how to wire up the second set of foglights:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/SMOKE-PROJEC...item53eac19924

This way all I have to do it pop in my current drl into the zl1 fascia then wire up the second fog lights separately. The given switch sucks. I'll probably scrap that switch for a different one that I can flush mount somewhere of my choosing.
Question: How do the drl and fog lights mount into the zl1 fascia. Is there some hardware that holds in place or do they just "pop" into place??

[11 Camaro IBM]

Hey 2SSRS on my LS will I have to make a switch with the PNP your making or will all the lights just come on with the parking lights? Thanks

The fog pops in the DRL go to post 13 in the second illustration you need part #21 to hold them in.

I will make it both ways so let me know how you want it.

[11 Camaro IBM]

Thanks 2SSRS I just like it simple so with the parking lights and what's your take on the radiator shroud do we need it?

[iFast]

Is it part number: 20957334 to hold the drl into the fascia? And where can I find that part? Can't find it online.

I didn't even know the part number for it Just working off my imagination and simplistic mind.

What if instead of the signal going to the BCM you routed it to a relay that activates the fogs?

I'll let you know when I pick up my car tomorrow but from the picture he sent me he does good quality work (had him also fill the holes in my trunk lid from my stock spoiler for the high wing spoiler install).

I'm sure he wouldn't say no to more work. How many did you have in mind?

If you want the Airflow to the engine that the ZL1 offers and the brake coolers than yes, you will have to get the inner fender liners for brake coolers too.

For the Air duct its part#10, and the side baffles Left#9, Right#9. Fan Shroud is on the back side of the Radiator.

Let me know if you find something that actually looks like it came from the factory. I cringe when I see cheap radio shack rocker switches on nice cars.

AAC has those great looking lighted switches for their halos

N.P. its all new to me too, that is why i want to see if in the right place on the BCM i can add the wire and the use the non RS switch and it will work.

I don't think you need it this is why, The ZL1 has a intercooler and the parts are to flow air in to it, For a non intercooler car i see no need for the parts.

If it works i will post up.

Where do you install one if you have the HUD.

[sene]

I think I'd have to see those mounted but I'm not liking the finish or the shape. It still doesn't look like "factory" enough

[11 Camaro IBM]

I don't have an AAC switch I just thought they looked nice thanks for the info on the shroud less money to spend for such a cool mod

I don't like having switches shown in my interior unless it is factory. Even if this is what will be needed for the fog lights I will have it under my dash hidden.

If you are wanting to have brake coolers they will be needed. But if you don't then use what you have currently.
I'm going this far putting the ZL1 bumper on and other parts needed, might as well do the other little stuff. More cool air to your engine is always a good thing! I will be supercharged soon this will be my set up.

I wouldn't want to have to reach for a hidden switch just to turn on m fogs.

Here's one I found: http://www.jshmotors.com/jdm-dc2-int...witch_p304.php

Just disregard all the other rice stuff on there

I wouldn't have it completely hidden just mount it at the bottom of the knee bolster near the hood release. Arms reach.

You can probably find a GM one where it is not so long in the back like the Honda one shown.
