it's a GM OEM Z06/ZR1/GS bumper, with a carbon fiber ZR1 splitter, and the fogs are painted body color, as are the side marker and rear tail lights.

not really understanding your question...
Your car has lowering bolts from the factory. Just turn them counter clockwise. You will see the bushing we are speaking about when you look at it.
your car has a leaf spring not coil springs.

Yes you can - but the bushings ( a thick tough rubber pad) on the bottom of the OEM bolts are so thick such that you may not be able to get the car as low as you might like - many want to go lower and therefore they cut some of the bushing off...

In my experience and in seeing what others have done here on the Forum, the OEM front bolts will get the car as low as most need. The rear OEM bolts don't go down as far as most people like and that's why they cut the bushings down a bit...

Have a look at the attached thread - it shows the difference between the thicker OEM bolt\bushing and an aftermarket bolt...
