Sure can. I have one and it is a straight fit.

Just need to remove the front clip to do it.

Absolutely. This thread will help.............

Edit: If you have a Z51 the existing brake ducts fit perfectly with the new Z06 grill. If you don't have a Z51 you can also purchase the 2 brake ducts (about $50-60 if I remember correctly because I did my cousin's base car and we got the ducts for his car) and install them too. They're very easy to bolt in and will add a bit of additional cooling to your front brakes.

Yes you can, and you should. 100% improvement over the stock Stingray grille. They should come standard on all Corvettes.

HUGE IMPROVEMENT! It's actually super easy and only takes ~1 hour. I spent an extra half an hour cleaning out my filter from bugs, leaves, and other debris.
