Do you mean the Richmond 3.55 gear or an entire rear diff swap? No one has done the Richmond 3.55 gear swap, lots of people have done the rear diff swap.

Does this apply to all years Gen 5 2LS?

I know it's been 6 years in the making, but to answer a question asked on this post nearly 6 years ago about whether the 1LS has the closed or open grill. I have a 1LS 2012 V6, and it indeed does have the "Open" grill. I didn't know there was a difference either, but after reading this whole thread today, I walked down and checked.

Thank you for this post, very valuable knowledge.
I have a different question whether the lower bumper grille version 2LS fits from other versions. I have to exchange my own and in Europe more easily available those with a greater flow.
My car is from 2015, and these grilles with a greater flow are described as the SS version from 2013. Maybe someone also processed this topic?
