Bumper Talk

I have a 2015 Camaro LS and have searched for weeks to get an answer with no luck. I'm wanting to change my front bumper to a Z28 front bumper from the same year as my Camaro. Is this possible without too much customization? I will eventually be changing my rear bumper too if there's not too much trouble to do that as well. I would like to use all GM parts because I've had bad luck with aftermarket body parts in the past. Has anyone had any experience with this conversion or has any advice on it besides buy a Z28?

I would be interested in figuring this out as well. My 2011 SS needs a new rear bumper and I've been eyeing several from the RS or the ZL1 (mostly due to availability, certainly opens up options) and not sure if they fit or not.

Not a 100% sure but I believe the 2015 SS and Z28 bumper are the same just the Z28 had a splitter that attaches to the bottom of the bumper. Since you have a 2015 the headlights wont have to be changed. You would just need to buy the front bumper, bottom splitter, plastic panel underneath the bumper, possibly the plastic bumper retainer and some various nuts and bolts.
