Your car looks nice man. The zl1 front painted looks way better it actually matches the whole thing

I agree man I don't want a ZL1 clone either. I still want it to look like an ss i just really love the zl1 front nose.. Can you post more pictures from different angles. You're car looks badass

I needed a front end after hitting a deer. The ZL1 parts were about the same price as the LT parts.

Do what makes you happy I did a full exterior ZL1 conversion. I ran a year with the OEM GM GFX sides and rear but they did not look right with the ZL1 bumper. I am happy with my conversion.

Your Camaro looks great. What is the name and brand of that hood?

It is the MPD1 Z-Force hood, I have the same hood. I also have the ZL1 side rockers and rear defuser. At some point I do plan to install the ZL1 front bumper, too.

In my opinion the ZL1 front end is much more aggressive than the SS front end. I think the SS looks unfinished without a splitter/spoiler. Replacing the factory grill with a heritage grill will make a huge difference in appearance. Go to my garage and look at my car.

I'll buy your GFX kit if you decide to change.
