Default 2007 c6/ front bumper replacement

guys need some help. some idiot lost a load of brick today and one of the bricks decided to plant itself into my front bumper fog light. so since i did not want to spend the money on a z06 i was wandering if the hood on the z06 was different than my stock hood. i planned on installing the front bumper of the z06 on my car and was not sure if i needed to replace the hood.

Not so fast...you will need both front fenders of a "Z" if you are going to install a Z06 fascia, it will not fit a C6, However, I do believe that a Z06 "hood only" would fit a C6.

I wish it was that simple.

How bad is the original bumper?

I had a not so nice dent in mine from love tapping someone, but for under a grand the body shop fixed it right up. Can't even tell it was damaged.

I can't believe that after 4 years no one has come with a cheap repro of front fenders (fibergalss), and we still have to pay over 2k.

There is a company that makes them in fiberglass. I think it is Mid America could be wrong. They are not made well and you will spend as much making them right as it would to do the orig. z06 fenders..

Barely damaged. In fact I could replace the light and it would probably do the trick. Just wanted a reason to get that Z look.
