ZL1 Style Bumper added on Whipple Supercharged

As I understand some people don't like put parts from other trims, I was supposed to change my front bumper to Genuine ZL1 due to the "big mouth" for cooling, but unfortunately... not fit on SS.

and I found some kind of aftermarket one from Taiwan, it fit perfectly.
I am satisfied except a few defects on the lip and had to cut the grill for the reservoir of SC coolant. It is ugly, but fortunately, it is completely covered by the plate.

So it looks just like the ZL1 but doesn't have the fitment issues? I love thr ZL1 look but not the leather interior, hence why I ordered a 1SS. But not sure I want to falsely advertise either...

Considering it's not painted, lets hope someone else chimes in and makes one that doesn't hurt the wallet that much. Also, it exposes quite a lot of "stuff" in the front of our cars. Some items that appear to be purposely placed so that they'd be covered by the stock front bumper. This isn't bad but, I'm not entirely sold on it.

Bringing this okd post back to life. Im considering going OEM Z front end but same issue on wondering about the front tank before pulling the trigger.

What has people dont regarding the front tank?
Or in general lets say i do a fender tank or a trunk tank what i honestly have no space for… if you do another tank does that replace the one in the front bumper or you tun both?

I think the ZL1 fenders are different too (wider) but not 100% sure. If you do the ZL1 I think you really want to do that custom crash bar that a forum member came up with…really opens up the airflow.
