Zl1 Faceswap?

Xxlblackzl · 09-19-2021, 06:08 PM

Hello all, I was wondering if anybody knew someone, or had any way to face swap the current *refresh* zl1 (19-21) with the updated face of the 19-21 ss? (Headlights and bumper). From my research I dont believe you can just buy the bumper n headlights cause they just wont fit. However are there any conversion kits that will allow the refresh headlights n bumper to be retrofitted to the current refresh zl1? I have seen zl1 bumpers for the 19-21 SS, but not what Im looking for. (Dont say “just get a 19-21 ss n faceswap Lol)

So are you wanting to put a SS front on a ZL1?

2SS Capt · 09-19-2021, 10:24 PM

This baffles me, I nearly bought a ZL1 because I love the aggressive look of the front end... I bought a 2SS because I think this will eventually be my Daily Driver and I didn't want to spend the extra $20k for horsepower I didn't need as well as the potential extra wear and tear from the supercharger...

I think putting an SS front end on your ZL1 will diminish the value...

On the same note, I didn't even consider the LT1 because I didn't like the front end, rear end and smaller rear wheels, plus lack of all the extras (MRC, extra cooling, etc)... So I guess everyone has their own tastes...

Essentially yes, quite literally no. I’m getting a zl1 but I like the headlights styling of the refreshed ss. So i wanted to know if anybody knew any possible ways to basically mix the two styles. To make it look like a refreshed zl1 basically

As someone said, I think that will hurt any resale values down the road. Granted, you can do whatever you want to YOUR car, but id budget swapping it back to a zl1 front end if/when u plan to sell. That or get a SS and throw a blower on it.

I wouldn't do this if I were you. The reason Chevrolet didn't include the ZL1 in this refresh is because the new front bumper opening didn't provide enough cooling for all of the intercoolers in the front of the ZL1.

You risk over heating issues.

No way would I do that. If you like the look of an SS, buy an SS and add a supercharger if you need more power. This may be the first time I've ever heard anyone state that the SS front looks better than the ZL1 front.

EDFHOBBIES · 09-20-2021, 10:29 AM

I'd use the v6 front end and v6 brakes if your tiring to go full stealth!

FrostZ · 09-20-2021, 12:11 PM

If you are looking to update the style I’d recommend the Morimoto/Hero headlights they are full LED, dual high and low beam elements with sequential turn signals which you can decide to use or not. By changing the front bumper you’d need new fenders and loose a lot of the air flow the ZL1 bumper is optimized for.

Buy an SS if you want the headlights and front end.��

Vigilante375 · 09-20-2021, 08:17 PM

There is a reason why the ZL1 has the front end like it does.

It helps with air flow to keep all the things an SS doesn't have, cool.

I think he mainly likes the new SS headlights better actually so do I.
But definitely not the entire grill

So many opinions. He clarified his statement and just wants the new headlights and was wondering if anyone has done it or can it be done, etc.
