Of course nobody should be against tasteful mods and enhancements, but trying to transform the entire frontend feels a bit like a "shoulda bought a ..." admission. I have a bunch of mods to my SS, but if GM had allowed more configurability, I probably would've gone with the ZL1.

The other thing with exterior parts is that aftermarket fitment is hardly ever up to par, as Jaxcam02 stated. Bumper fitment is especially dicey, heck, even GM's own parts have issues sometimes (e.g. unwanted rear bumper heat expansion). I tried several aftermarket pieces and gravitated back to OEM parts eventually, unfortunately those are the best, if often very costly.
