Adding a ZL1 front end to your car. - Page 216 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Anyone have an install write up done? If I bought a ZL1 front bumper with grill, foglights & bezels, what all else would I need to make it work?

One of the ZL1 wiring harnesses from Gen5DIY.

I'm about to get the light harness with the switch for the ZL1 conversion.
Has anyone got the harness with the switch???????
Where in the car did you put the switch????????

ZL1 spoiler is still available.

So I finally had someone check it out, and there was a loose connection with the harness. So now my two little fog lamps work together with the headlights, and the DRLs work by themselves during the day. Now I just need to change the bulbs and put in some HID bulbs. Would like to get those that change colors!

I converted my car with all the ZL1 aerodynamic parts including the belly pan. I did not install the side skirts yet. I track my car at the road course and these additions did improve the handling. Once I take some better pictures I will post them.

If anyone needs a harness with switch let me know. Sold my Camaro and never installed the harness.

spadz93 · 05-15-2014, 02:28 PM

do i need the belly pan if i dont want my lower grille/splitter to sag? the rear of the piece (the end thats under the radiator-ish) hangs down a bit, and i've already lost one splitter from catching something that decided to pull it off. with my new splitter on the way, i'm trying to prevent that

Does anyone have a photo of the trimming they did to the lower black plastic that acts as a wind deflector or radiator shroud? I have an LS if that makes any difference.

Has anyone replaced this with an actual one from a ZL1? Price?

Thank you

I am about to do the conversion and have a question. I have a non-RS SS and do not want to upgrade the lighting on the car except to add the lower set of fog lights. I see everyone talking about needing a new harness, and just wanted to know if I could reuse the SS harness and tap the lower fogs into the upper fogs?

[QUOTE=Inuyashas_Brother;7075551]Thanks, but would you mind elaborating - what steps were taken to create the modified retainer? It seems a part was cut and something else was glued?

Thanks![/QUOTE

you can get a special retainer from azap racing on ebay that is formed for the early fog light. It has the bump out to clear the adjuster knob. It is only $8 each. That is what I used.

After hitting a deer on Hot Rod Power Tour I decided to put the ZL1 front end on my car. State Farm said t was ok with them just pay the difference. Here is before and after. I ended up using a Trucabon extractor which was considerably less than the gm. All other parts are OEM.
