Default Difference between c6 and z06 bumper

I can see the intake in the front, but will the Z06 bolt up to a c6 without the z06 fenders?
thanks

Search, its a lil wider and bulges. Somebody had some nice pics. He just bolted it up and it was off, but not too much. It was a silver car I think.

I think what your asking is if the Z front fenders can be installed using the C6 front bumper? I don't think you can install the Z front bumper without the Z fenders, but perhaps someone will prove me wrong.

I have seen a couple posts with pics indicating you can use the C6 front bumper with the Z front fenders. Hopefully some one will chime in who has done it.

I dunno why someone would spend $3k for fenders and not the other $500 for the nose.

If its the Z bumper on the standard C6 with standard fenders, then yes it can be done, but it bulges and doesn't fit too neat.

If its Z fenders on a standard nose I have no idea.

the z06 front bumper cover will fit on the c6 front fenders with a lot time lining things up. The bumper does bow a little after so it is not a perfect fit. There are other members that have taken the time to make them look good.
