Front Bumper Options
The previous owner of my '11 Base Vert decided to not only use adhesive, but also drill holes into the front bumper for the front license plate holder. 
I really hate how the front license plate holder looks and was wondering about options. Once I remove it there will be three nasty drill holes left and I'm guessing body work is an option, but I was also interested in replacing the front bumper with something sleeker too.
I wanted to replace it with a Grand Sport front bumper, but do I have to replace the front fenders as well? Are there any good aftermarket front bumpers that are direct replacements for the base model front bumper that don't require changing out the front fenders? Any feedback you guys have is much appreciated, thanks for your time.

If you buy a GM GS nose, you will have to change out your front fenders for the wider ones.
Now with wider front fenders come larger front rims & tires. With your new wide front, you can't stop there. That’s right you guessed it. For it to look right, new wide rear fenders, larger rims and tire$$.
We came up with a design which has the GS/Zz06 scoop for a more aggressive look BUT it uses your same stock front fenders and all of your items from your stock nose (grill, driving lights...etc)
Hood & the bottom splitter are sold separately.
Heres the link: http://store.tkoperformance.com/c6buwiz06sts.html
Unique look.
Fits stock C6 fenders
Keep and use all of your existing parts in your nose.
No problems with clearance.
Contact us if you have any questions
Thanks
