5th Gen ZL1 Bumper

[Churhahn]

Looking for a Mean ZL1 front bumper like the attached picture. Trying to find one without all the access parts - I’ve got access to the Heritage Grill but curious if anyone has one a bumper for sale they’d like to pass along to me. It seems like all the ones online have excessive parts that I don’t necessarily really need.

The only "excessive" parts that you don't need is the aero dams on the sides and upper grill since you have access to one of those. Everything else you see in those kits are required to do the change over.

If you post up a link at a kit you was looking at we could help you.

I have to agree with Mr_Draco on this.

You need all the parts for a proper installation.

I bought my kit from https://www.gen5diy.com/ but looks like it's sold out.

Yea the fascia itself is on company wide back order with no known date of restock so getting a new one will be very hard atm. Given that GM is only required to manufacture parts for 10 years after they stop a certain model design, they may be winding down the manufacture of them.

Sure will! See below for a few links…

Maybe i’m confused - Or maybe they’re cheap parts. To me, these links look similar to the picture I attached. Am I wrong? Not saying all these websites are trustworthy or anything. But they sure do seem cheaper than $1,300. I’m not for buying anything half-a** - I generally think i’m not understanding something lol. Thanks for the feedback.

The ones on ebay will get you started but it doesn't include everything you need.

You will also have to buy the absorber which is another $260 (https://www.ebay.com/itm/403635355406), a wire harness for the lights or the new added lights will not work $118 (https://www.gen5diy.com/collections/...-light-harness), and all the hardware needed to put it all together about $40 for all of it. (GM part numbers WF34474, WF68115, and WF56150).

Buying it like this puts the total to about $1,250 so not that much of a savings.

When I did mine, I went ahead and spent the extra $100 to let someone else spend all the time and energy tracking everything down instead of me buying everything separate but that's up to you.

Oh I see.. Appreciate the help… - That would have sent me down a rabbit hole. Would you happen to know if any trustable sites that have everything included, and in stock?

If not. - I may start just searching for all the necessary parts and buying from multiple places. Like you said though, I’d rather spend the extra money than the effort tracking it down

In stock? Not that I'm aware of.

Last question lol. Does this look like everything minus the splitter?

[Churhahn]

aI think i’ve got it figured out. I’m looking for the T3 ZL1 Bumper, all included. Appreciate the help.. Going to make a post in here and hope someone is selling. Thanks! much appreciated help - I would have probably purchased that bumper and then realized I needed much more.
