Some dumbass tried to make a U-turn without checking his mirrors and turned right into me...

If my bumper needs to be replaced, I wanted to have the shop order me a ZL1 bumper and I'll just pay any difference if there is one. But I had a few questions, is Gary's Custom still doing them? And if so, will my STOCK fog lights fit in the ZL1 fog bezels, or will I have to order different ones? I don't want the lower fog lights...I'll just cover them somehow.

I did the swap, the fog lights work. Need to snip a tab off so they do. I didn't get mine from Gary's, but it came with the DRL's. You will also have to modify or purchase the inner bumper. That is what I remember off the top off my head from 3 years ago. The ZL1 bumper is your cheaper option once you start crunching #'s.

Gary's Custom ZL1 bumper just go straight on from what I heard...?

Sorry this happened. I hope it all works out.

Sorry man.. maybe not the way to get the upgrade but something positive out of a negative is good .. Hope it goes quick..

Asked my State Farm agent if I could upgrade mine after hitting a deer. They said just pay for difference. Ended up being only $11 more. Used oem parts and had dealership do it.

Your hood lines won't match up on the ZL1 front. Check with Gary's, they may have a solution to that.

TooCool5 · 09-28-2015, 01:20 PM

I like this upgrade, good to know for future ref.

DRKnight1SS · 09-28-2015, 03:07 PM

I should have done this when I got in a fender bender and they replaced my front bumper

I'm sure there'll be a next time
