Once you connect all the grills it stiffens the bumper. From my understanding the absorbers from the old would not fit the new.
One issue is bumper sag for those without belly pan. I installed steel mending plates to solve that.

Guys as you can see I’m in the process of upgrading all around but my focus is the front since I’ve completed the rear 90% only thing needed is the z28 diffuser. Anyhow the lighting portion of this overwhelms me somewhat because I want rgb this a that with 6th gen head/fog lights. As of now I need to trim the crash bar, paint washer bottle and hopefully buy this 14 SS hood. My headlights will be purchased later on down the line.

I received my Zl1 front bumper conversion for my 2010 Camaro. I got the 15 headlights with sequential turn signals and my kit came with the lower belly pan and wiring conversion harnesses. I was totally impressed with the main front bumper part, it was a perfect part, no blemishes at all!!! The headlights assemblies are beautiful. The only issue I noticed was that the front lower spoiler had a few waves in the part so I contacted Ikon and they were really nice and sent out another at no charge. I can't wait to do a dry fit but my time is limited because my business is getting very busy so I will take my time and do it right. This kit from Ikon is really awesome and dealing with them is not an issue at all. They were very courteous and treated me nice. This is an exciting conversion. And the price for this kit is a deal when you consider you get everything except the headlight bulbs!! Can't beat the deal!

I located a hood 5 mins from me for $200. Also have a buyer in line already to purchase my zl1 hood for $650. This 15 SS hood is yellow but I’ll wrap it gloss black

If it was made of plastic you can just heat and bend.

Pretty sure the wickerbill is flexible enough to wrap your awesome spoiler.

How do you like that rear window louvre? I am tempted to get one myself but not sure how bad it will affect rear visibility. Does it make it harder to see behind you back up?

Yes I picked it up. I guess I need to install the belly pan for the bumper to prevent so much bumper sag. I remember what you did because you didn’t have 1. I’m just surprised that something at the very bottom of the bumper would affect how the top lines up. It’s pretty good still only a very minimal amount of vision loss with the install. I still drive the same. I would recommend them if you like the look. No regrets here.

Nice other than the sag do the lines match up as well as mine did? Bumper to cowl.
You got a lot of paint ahead of you. I'm now torn on rear. Starting to like the 14-15 form factor

It’s a much more involved process to convert the rear for sure. Yes my cowl lines to bumper match up perfectly like yours no problem with that I just would like to close the gap between the actual bumper and hood. If I were to guess I’d say the sides of hood have about 1/8” gap but the front of hood has about about 1/4” gap. You can kinda see the push pins a little
