All depends if you want to go OEM on the hood and wheels (your most expensive parts).

My total investment before selling my OEM parts was $7600 (after selling my OEM parts) my total out of pocket was $3350 for ALL GM OEM parts.

(Hood w./ ECF insert, 10-Spoke ZL1 rims and tires, spoiler, bumper, rear diffuser, quad tips, side skirts, belly pan, water deflector, ZL1 springs). I did my conversion when it was still new to most folks so I ended up getting good money for my SS bumper, and OEM GFX pieces.

You can pick up an OEM ZL1 hood for around $600 painted, and the TRU Carbon ZL1 insert for $400 (OEM ECF inserts on Ebay run about $1200, I picked up my OEM hood and ECF insert for $1500 in mint condition). You can pick up the Replica ZL1 rims for around $1000.

01pewterz28, did you adjust your bumper cowl lines to your SS hood and the end up buying a ZL1 hood? It looks like your ZL1 bumper has much too narrow of a cowl line to line up with your hood? Usually its the other way around

(I believe) he got the ZL1 bumper first and had the cowl lines moved for the V6 to match his stock hood, then added the ZL1 hood later. So he'd have to move the cowl lines again and repaint to put it back to the way it was.

I've got my unpainted bumper upstairs waiting, I've had a CF zl1 hood for months

Yes I purchased the ZL1 bumper had the lines moved I added a fiberglass ZL1 hood, then went back to the stock hood with the TL1 insert. I came across a killer deal on the ZL1 hood so as you can see its off. I am going to get my bumper re-painted next year so I will have the lines moved to line up with the ZL1 hood.
