Jumped in on the bumper and had a few notes worth sharing simply because I couldn't find any of this out there on the internet already. This was installed on a 2016 2SS.

-- The DRLs that came with the bumper were utter trash. Once installed, they pulsed like crazy and would sometimes eventually stop after the car was running for a while. I think this is because they don't include ballasts. IKON support was non existent. I ordered a set of OEM DRLs and the problem immediately resolved.

-- On test fitment, the bumper looked like it was *not* going to fit properly. After some adjustment, things looked better. Once everything was painted and fully installed, the bumper fit significantly better.

-- The OEM upper grill will fit perfectly so you can retain the Glowtie, if you are using it. You can also use the OEM upper grill to retain a bowtie. The IKON upper grill does not include any way to mount a bowtie.

I included a few shots so you can see the angles and how things line up.

Is it just me or does the aftermarket zl1 bumpers set up higher in the front . If you look at front splitter compare to side skirts it sets up higher

in that photo it doesnt look like the zl1 side skirts. so it would be hard to tell. also it might be the angle but yeah just a little.

Does anyone know why this cover on my bumper hangs so low? I had it installed at my chev body shop.
It has a bit of play and I can push it up and down.
