need more info....you will need to pull your wiring harness off your old front end,,,but to get the driving lights and fogs to work you need to get a wiring harness from the OP of this thread as he makes them

The bumper is not fitting... what exactly should I be cutting? I cut a little of the bottom where the lower grille curves....Feels like something is stopping it from going on....One side is on but the other wont go on.

The only thing u should have to cut is the absorber. # 9 on the list of parts. The stock ab. is bigger than the ZL1 front ab. or shaped different.

Do u have all of the ones in the top of piece when u open the hood?

[Funkymaddox]

yes, i have an 2LT/RS and all of the clips when you open the hood.

no idea for what these two types are, especially because the right ones are only 2 times included and the left ones 4 times?!

I have no idea what there for, its not any parts i have used for the front. for the front all you need is the parts that are posted and if you have the wheel extension then you need 2 more #11570637 bolts to put them on, but that is it.

Thought i would post here.. Since theres not many IBM zl1 front conversions. Just got it done.!

[stt816]

okay this should be the last question, i am having trouble seeing how the wheel well liner hooks up to the new bumper...

[2SSRS@Gen5diy]

the top hole lines up but you will need to drill two new holes for the rest.

[stt816]

still having trouble getting the damn thing on, not sure how to exactly cut the absorber...when i take the absorber off it goes on...do i really need the absorber on there?

[Funkymaddox]

as i learned: absorber is for the airbag, without, airbag goes on with every little inpact. my advice, buy a ZL1 absorber 60$ at gen5 DIY

If your having fiting problums check the bottom radiator air scoop. That is what I had to cut so it would fit. The absorber shouldent be getting in the way and should be in place.
