Will OEM ZL1 Rockers fit my SS 1LE
Hello all, picked up some take off ZL1 rockers on eBay from a 2021 ZL1 1LE in the same color as my 2022 SS 1LE. Do any of you know if this is as easy of a swap as it looks to be? Don’t have them yet but I’m hoping it’s just a remove and replace thing with no alignment or fitment issues. Thanks for the help and information.

As far as I know, the ZL1 fenders bulge out half an inch more than the SS (1LE), so you'll need some massaging in the front. Gen5DIY sells a spacer kit, see here: https://www.gen5diy.com/collections/...der-spacer-kit.
Other than that, it should be plug and play. |
Thanks! If you know, does this kit require modifying the rocker mounting or the fender mounting? Can’t tell much from the site but the template looks like the fender. Thank you again

I have not done this conversion (bought a ZL1 style side skirt set from C7 Carbon instead), but I think the kit mounts to the fender and pushes it out to align with the ZL1 rocker panel.
Also, here is a thread from with a lot of details from members who already attempted this: https://www.camaro6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=488562 (mind you, the Gen5DIY kit was not yet available at that time, so their workarounds are FYI only, I'd simply contact Gen5DIY for help with the install). |
Thank you very much.

It's very simple, you either space out the bottom mounting point of the fender to match the rocker or use some zip-ties or something to pull the rocker in the half inch or so.

So I took forever to update this. I got the ZL1 rockers installed and they are and look incredible. I had my painter repaint the satin black but the satin steel was dead on match and in perfect condition. I didn’t space out the front fenders though, my body guys was able to reshape them and attach to the front fenders and they lined up perfectly. Best cosmetic mod I could have done. I did grab the GEN5 kit but didn’t use it so if anyone reading this could use it pay for the shipping and I’ll send the kit for nothing.
