You think I'd be nuts to do a 1LE conversion from a ZL1? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Its 256am and I just got done watching Taken 2.

I'm sure there is someone that would do a swap with me, front bumper, hood, rear diffuser. Hmmm...the ultimate sleeper,

Ok, enough for tonight. I'm givin myself a headache! No more, no more!

No, you wouldn't be nuts. You would still have the motor and suspension set-up. It's all up to what look you like more.

I wish I lived closer.

Go back to bed

He11bent · 01-20-2013, 05:27 AM

Yeah...definitely a wack job.

Blueclyde · 01-20-2013, 05:31 AM

Why don't you just buy a 1LE next week and then trade it for a ZL1 the week after that.

Its your car.. I would sleep on that some more. It is already an ultimate sleeper. Not everyone knows what a ZL1 is..

KKreme15 · 01-20-2013, 09:41 AM

You'd mess up the engine bay cooling with the 1LE hood

joeybsyc · 01-20-2013, 09:42 AM

I think that's a killer idea. The wheels are the same, and you could pick up a stock hood and bumper for cheap... I'd just save your original stuff. Would definitely fool a ton of people, and still look cool.

Heck, eventually you're going to HAVE to do that just to keep your ZL1 from looking like every V6 car with a ZL1 bumper and hood scoop.

GunnyG · 01-20-2013, 09:42 AM

Not liking that idea bro.

shawn18 · 01-20-2013, 09:59 AM

I don't think I would do that myself......Now painting your hood and spoiler flat black.....That might look pretty good.....Photoshop time!

Yeah I don't plan on doin a 1LE conversion, just figured it'd be fun to post. Plus it was late.

I do plan however to get my hood wrapped and paint my spoiler satin black.

Mgizzle · 01-20-2013, 02:21 PM

Man, I hope you dont do this to ur zl1. The ss facia doesnt have brake cooling ducts and the bafles are not optimized for the zl1 radiator.

If you were to do it you would full every one that didn't know to look at the breaks.
