Installed ZL1 Front Bumper last night. Can't say it went well. The DIY thread for adding a ZL1 Bumper is virtually useless in that it is over a hundred pages long and there is not real clear cut section in it that really addresses the actual install. I found the part about cutting the wings off the front shroud, but never found anything specifically mentioning that the pointed part of the front shroud on the 2SS would also cause fitment problems. By the time I figured it out, I had managed to put a couple of minor scratches in the paint on the front bumper (should be easily buffed out), and worse, managed to crack the corner tip of the bumper just behind the driver's side side marker where it meets up with the fender (not sure how easy that is going to be to fix). Taking off the 2SS bumper was quite easy and getting all the lights and wiring put into the new bumper was also very straight forward. Just needed a clearer explanation of what needed to be modified on the vehicle to fit the new bumper and if it existed, it was too hard to find in 100+ pages of the DIY thread. Anyway, pictures are attached. Will try to get better pictures next time the sun is out. Hopefully, I can get the minor damage fixed without paying too much. Pictures aren't great due to lighting in the garage. Have not put the wheel liners back in yet as I am expected new light bulbs for the fog lights and DRLs in early next week and I wanted to leave easy access to the back of the lights until then.
