How many miles do you plan to put on your car? As long as it is a garage/trailer queen it may be worth something in 40-50 years... otherwise don't count on it be worth much with 60,000+ miles on it.

i was in the same boat as you, i really wanted the zl1 bumper but didnt have the money for it so i was able to pick up a used ss bumper my color with the oem gfx attached already and did a straight swap at a fraction of the price and looks a ton better. for reference here is my wife's v6 to my ls with ss swap

Don't waste your time on telling me about the cost of the car, there are plenty of V6's on this site that some have invested enough money to have owned an SS.

oh yea now you say that after you get caught sounding stupid

He's stating his opinion then qualifies it in the 2nd quote, and it's "sounds" rational. People buy the V6's because it starts out as a more affordable purchase.

Then the owner's become attached to them and then mod as funds become available to suit their needs and if their goal is one to have their car look and act like a more powerful car, they usually end up spending what it would of cost to have purchased the higher performance vehicle.

In the end, it comes down to what makes the owner of the vehicle happy with their ride. If not, sell and upgrade or sell and downgrade, save, then upgrade. Or hit the lottery and go out get whatever "floats your boat". Have a wonderful day

Not all of us need a 600+ hp car.

I can buy a 2LT with all the goodies a 2SS has, and throw on a few of the ZL1 exterior parts for way less than it costs me to buy a ZL1. Then I have lower insurance, and better gas milage. I don't go to the track or feel the need to prove my car that i didn't build is faster than someone else's car they didn't build. So like I said, a decent size engine + looks and comfort will do most just fine.

I like the V6 bumper and wouldn't change it, just add the heritage grill. But if you want to change it that bad get this: http://rideskinz.bigcartel.com/produ...-bumper-fascia That will give you an aggressive look without being a copycat of the SS or ZL1.

Only if he adds the SS badges if his car is actually an LS or LT.
