i've always hated 'functional-looking' parts on cars, especially the stick-on hood scoops the mail slot is much better than those, but i'd prefer to not have it.

I just noticed the air diffuser and the lower grill differences also.

the fog lights are also spaced wider on the SS

If it is all one piece that is one less piece to replace, but a second color needed painting..if you want a black grill and have a non black car.. still extra expense..
i ain't seen it in person either, but the closeups of the bumpers & quarter panels look like one piece.

there's the bumper itself, the lower grill, and the sockets for the fog lights... the sockets you might get away with having the same but it's def not one piece.
well i know that the actual grilles & lights ain't physically part of the bumper. i'm talking about the body-colored piece that starts at the front of the hood, wraps around the front and extends down to the air dam. let me come up with an illustration...

the first highlights what i'm talking about.
the second is the original so you can see there's no seam
