18' Zl1 hood on 21' SS
Hi guys,
I am planning to get a zl1 OEM hood with cf insert from a 2018zl1, however, I don't know how off it would fit on my 21 ss. has anybody done that before and drop some pics? Also, Idk if I should keep saving and get a real cb copo style hood later.... |

It will not. The ZL1 uses different fenders and you will have fitment/clearance issues along with gaps

It fits fine. I'm not sure how it'll look on the 2019+ bumper, though. I needed to adjust the hood latch as well as the usual adjustments at the arms. I'm using an IKON ZL1 front bumper and stock OEM non-ZL1 fenders.

nice looking car! This is also what I am planning to do, I am planning to swap the hood first and then get the bumper, you changed out the fenders as well? i thought the ss fender should fit

Nah that hood gap is huge. I would not be happy with that at all.

It isn't just height, the lines between the hood and the bumper/fenders don't even track completely, thus the gap is uneven.

The gap is barely noticeable in day to day life, but, to each their own. The lines against the fenders are perfect, not sure what you are seeing there. The only spot there is any issue is the small spot where the sides of the hood meet the front bumper, and, tbh, I'd rather have a tiny gap and OEM product over an aftermarket piece. The small gap is fine to me.

well,I think I'll probably pass on the zl1 hood and save for the CF hood which I think should fit better?...

Personally, I would probably let it go and live with it if this were my car, it doesn't look too bad on the pic. (Then again, I'm the one who spent 2+ hours tweaking hood hinges to make the gap absolutely perfect on mine... I can ease into some moods for sure )
