If its from that redline auto supply, I might want to see their hood on a real persons car first if you know what I mean. 499 is cheap cheap.

Yes, we tried to use a non RS headlight switch but that did not work, i have not given up on that need to find out if the ZL1 and non RS use the same headlight switch.

No the hood will be wider.

The issue is that the cowl is wider on the ZL1 hood, and that the cowl lines extend into the front fascia. So if you have a ZL1 front fascia, and a non-ZL1 hood, the hood lines will not match the fascia lines. The fix would be to smooth out the fascia lines. Probably not a very expensive fix.

No dimensions are the same, just the hood cowl raised bump won't line up. Theraised cowl on the hood is wider than the raised bump on the ss bumper

I shot this this weekend from Josh's car to show the difference in the cowl lines. He has an aftermarket hood which I assume is adding to the "gap" between the hood and fachia. Maybe someone with photoshop can circle the two cowl edges to make it more pronounced. I think this will clarify the the hood situation.

I had to really work at getting that shot with the sun. Hard to see if you do not know what your looking for. The fachia looks amazing especially the splitter
