I have started the process of putting a Z06 bumper cover on my regualr C6. Today I removed the bumper cover.I think the hardest part was getting the car in the air, as usual. Here's some pics: Bumper cover off and now FOR SALE!!! ;D I did discover that the accident broke off a ear that attached the side marker lens to the bumper cover. This isn't surprising since the crack goes all the way through that area as seen above. Tomorrow I am going to investigate removing the damaged headlight to see if any of that is area is broken. If all is ok I may just install the new one myself when it comes in. I am expecting the Z06 bumper sometime early this week and then the test fitting will begin! I will keep you posted!

I decided this morning to paint my calipers red while I had the front end apart and did that and then the Z06 bumper arrived. I had to remove the bumper support brackets off the old bumper and install them and the fog lights. I also had to make a cut on the underside where the "sleigh horns" of the bumper/radatior support is and then I had to modify the slots where the fender tabs insert in the bumper cover beside the headlight. Then I just bolted them on. If you want to see the instructions I am using here is a great link with pics if everything: www.okgmp.com/widebodyguide.pdfI have on order the air vent molding, inner, and outer grill, and now I see that I need the forward "mudguards" that go in front of the front tire. then we will be done!

I have finished everything but the radiator grille which I ordered from gmpartsdirect and might get before X-mas. :roll: Here are some links to some pics: I didn't think the red caliper's would make that much difference! 8O Remember my drivers headlight was damaged in the wreck ,which started this whole process, which is why its all messed up gap wise. As soon as my grille parts come in then its off to the Chevy place for paint and final assembly. 8)
