Adding a ZL1 front end to your car.

[jsharp]

very nice. did you not have drl already. Did you go ebay lights for fogs or factory>?

[Mikes SS]

Anyone know if the damn grille is out yet, I am just missing that part for the ZL1 fascia install!!

[bmbbl be]

has anybody painted the lower fascia and left the lower grill black? reason i ask is i have factory gfx ground effects if i did this conversion i would want the lower painted so it would look correct with the rest of the ground effects

[jsharp]

I dont think the zl1 grille is out yet or atleast i havent heard since I order parts thursday.

i have heritage grill....i mean the lower grille i would be leaving black

Its good there are lots of parts here from all the mods, Here is a pic i hope you can see the inner wheel wells will work.

In the pic is the ZL1 extenders that has the same 3 screw holes as the pumper and a SS inner fender plastic as you can see the top hole lines up the lower's does not, but the inner fender is flat all the way so you can drill 2 new holes to make it work.

Is this a ZL1 part NO, will it work YES, you loss the ZL1 brake ducting for what it is, if you want that then get there inner fenders and there new radiater shrouding.

You can cut your old radiator shrouding on the wings and it will work fine, It will not over heat there is so much air going thru the radiator with the new lower grill.

There are more parts you can add that are on the ZL1 that i did not add to this thread, That i got to see if its needed, Guys this is a DIY Its up to you to see what you want to put on your car, not ME or any one else can tall you what is right and wrong for you, and with that PM me if you need a harness other then that i am not going to post in this thread any more.

How did the paint match go? It seems like there's a little bit of color difference, my paint guy had to do it twice before it was good match.

So far I've only seen color matched lower grill... I though about this too but I realized I have a bad habit of getting close to curbs and its easier to to replace plastic then to fix paint.

Can anyone take a side shot of their car with only the ZL1 front installed? I just wanna get an idea of how it will look without the ZL1 side guards, and if it looks odd I may hold off until I can buy it all at once.

Thank you very much! These cars look amazing.

Wow, been off forums for a few months but a fender bender brought me back!

I've been reading through all pages but some points still aren't clear.


1) I have a 1LT/RS, so I guess the foglights will fit in the upper part. If I only want those one, will the wiring be long enough? Or do I need to order the new wires?

2) Is the first page the exact list? Insurance is paying for a new bumper, so I guess they will also pay for plastic stuff/nuts/bolts require to reassemble original bumper. Is the list of hardware on the forum the complete list, or only the difference between stock bumper?

3) Can we do without side flares?

4) To recap, as it is, if we already have a complete 1LT/RS assembly, do we need all of this or some of it is already in place?
1: #22831868 Fascia List price is and you need it. $430.27
2: #22895338 R Bezel List price is and you need it. $20.09

2: #11570637 pkg of 20 Bolt List price is and you need it. $3.51 per
3: #92231490 pkg of 10 rivets list price is and you need it. $1.94 per

Electrical / light

3: #20957334 DRL Retainer and you need 2
4: #22790487 Lamp and you need 2
5: #22685052 Adjuster and you need 2 and this comes with the lights from e-bay.
6: #13582913 and you need 2 bulb's


5) If we already have a 1LT, is the 22790487/22685052 lamp the stock one? Or is it the other one? That ain't clear
