Any suggestions on how to make a 1LT look more aggressive?

I haven’t done anything to my 2017 1LT except a muffler delete, which sounds more aggressive, but now I want it to look more aggressive but not sure what exterior mods I should try? Any suggestions? I kind of want to change the front bumper since it does not look that aggressive but not sure what brands or whatever to look at, thanks

The SEMA grill and maybe a front splitter?

Wheels and tires can make a huge difference. I'm staying with my stock wheels, but from what I've gathered so far the LT is comparable with any wheel/tire combinations that work on the V8 models.
So far I've done the tinted OEM tail lights. This is easy to do with the RS, but for a non-RS you may need to go aftermarket and/or do further modifications. I've also added tinted side markers and black bow ties in the front and back.
Changing out the rear spoiler will make a big difference, although I don't plan on doing so.


I suppose with a good chunk of money you could make a LT look very much like a SS or even a ZL1/1LE. Personally that's not in my cards. If I wanted the look of those models I would have gone that route. While I don't feel the V6 LT is any slouch, there is the potential of getting into all-show-no-go territory which I want to avoid.

Front bumper options are limited to swapping the grille to a SEMA grille. Or you could swap with a SS bumper or put an aftermarket ZL1 bumper if you feel like imitating them.
Swap or add spoilers or wings however you want to call it.
Add a front splitter or lip and some side skirts.
Sidemarkers can be replaced and window tint can have an effect.
Style of rims and tires.
There are many hood options as well.

Black bow ties (extremely cheap and easy with Plasti Dip), spoiler, wheels, and GM dark tail lights and third brake light are all gonna do wonders for you. As for the front bumper, you can add a lip or switch to a ZL1 replica bumper if you have the money

You can remove the bowtie on the sema grill. It makes it look more aggresive.

I don't have pics atm, but I get asked if my LT is a SS all the time. Cosmetic mods include:
1. Changed the rims
2. Sema grill
3. Rear louvers
4. I had the stock LT hood converted to add hood vents (actually had someone drill holes in my stock hood to create the SS hood look)
5. Added rear spoiler
6. Tint
7. Debadged
8. dynamic diode side markers
9. blacked out all lights except for the headlights
10. I have a black Camaro so I went with the murdered out look.

That's just on the outside and me barely thinking about everything. There's sooo much you can do. (PS) I tried to upload a pic from my phone, but it wouldn't let me.

The question is, do you already have the RS package?

I like the idea of removing that front bowtie. It does look better.
