SS Bumper Cover Question - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Hey all,

I hit a coyote the other day and received my replacement bumper cover, but the lower grill was damaged and is a few days out. I need the car for work, can I install the bumper cover, and then install the lower grill later WITHOUT removing the cover again? Thanks.

You need to remove the front fascia in order to install the lower grille. Sorry.

That's lame, thanks for the reply. Was hoping I could sort of squeeze it in there....

He was a big one too, luckily went underneath the car and not over. I searched and found a thread where a guy on here removed the grill with the bumper on, didn't know if it worked in the reverse.

AZ is strange, little varmits everywhere. I feel for the east-coasters, it was 90 degrees here yesterday for halloween.

Actually just emailed gmpartsdirect and the lower grill is expected to SHIP in 7-10 days WTF WTF WTF.

I found one locally on Craigslist (lucked out) for 90. It had holes in it where someone had mounted a splitter but I filled those, repainted and have I guess about 200 into it. My insurance deductible is 500, so I figure I saved 250 or so.

I've seen some on ebay painted for around 400.
