No, not without also changing to the Z06 front fenders as well.

On a C6 the procedure is; To remove the front facia (bumper cover) the shop manual says to remove the 5 inner fender fasteners, then 5 bolts under the griile opening, then 3 bolts in the upper bracket, then 4 nuts that hold the facia to the fenders, then 4 more bolts in the upper bracket. Don't forget to disconnect all the wiring.

Mid 12's as it sits withthe stock turbo, put down 330whp and 360wftlbs. Should be low 11's as soon as I put on the new turbo.
