Sorry to see your car was damaged, but glad no one was hurt (physically).

I agree... call gary's customs... ZL1 facia!

IROCanSS · 05-05-2012, 10:13 PM

Bummer dude :(. Glad everyone is ok! It will be good as new soon enough but....

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't do a ZL1 facia.

That's almost as bad as putting an SS front on a V6. It's not a Z... It shouldn't look like one.

Just sent... don't want to offend anyone.

I have heard a term used once.... "it snuck up right in front of me"

Well, Not sure what your plans are, but I think a the ZL1 front is great. It is more than just the look of a ZL1, the actual functionality of the new front fascia it a great improvement. That is , if that is the the front your might have been considering.

Sometimes these accidents work out for good mods.... you saw my mods after my wife tried driving over it

I agree, I will not be putting the ZL1 Fascia on for sure. Even though I love the looks.
It's not a ZL1.

As far as the Fascia, I'm not sure what to do. I'll spend today looking at different options. If anyone's got any other suggestions, post them up.

This one reminds me of that Jimmy Buffet song. Pencil Thin Mustache.

Hate to see that man. If you need anything give me a call.

Thanks. I may need some help with getting it painted.

We are leaving for vacation in 4 weeks and taking the car. I'm thinking about waiting until we get back to replace it just in case something might happen on the trip.

rachykells · 05-06-2012, 10:53 AM

Yikes-- those pesky poles always get in the way! :(

Glad nobody was injured, minus the SS, but it sounds like it'll be good as new soon.

wwddnnone · 05-06-2012, 12:01 PM

Needless to say, Susan's not too fired up to drive the car anymore.

She actually said ' I give up all rights to drive the car ' - then started crying, Jes was crying too, said it was her fault because she went to town with her.

I gave them each a hug, then started laughing - women can be sooooo dramatic.

Total extent of damage is the bumper cover, inner plastic crush panel?, and one of the lower grill spars.
Thankfully no bent sheet metal or the bumper beam itself.

Darth_Emma · 05-06-2012, 12:22 PM

Maybe a Heritage Grill while you're taking the front off anyway... and an ADM scoop.

wwddnnone · 05-06-2012, 01:12 PM

Good call on the ADM Scoop, I was thinking Stock SS cover & Phantom Grill - Black.
I'd like to get rid of the mailslot, but I don't like the way the V6 lower bumper looks.
