I'll be using this thread real soon.

We went for a scenic drive in the mountains last weekend and I hit a jackrabbit that ran out in front of me, so it's time to swap in a Z06 grille.

I'm guessing the jackrabbit lost more than his grille?

Oh yeah.

It broke the grille but didn't damage the WeaponX CF splitter or anything else.

That's good! He must have been mid-hop at impact.

Looks really good. I'm not a handy guy by any means so I might have a shop do it. Maybe the dealer will do it. Should only be an hour of work I'm assuming.

Took me 3-1/2 hours, but was being extra careful plus I changed out my emblems to carbon flash at the same time... and drank 5 beers.

I bought the grille a year and a half ago and it's still sitting in my garage. It goes on in 2 weeks (finally).

There is no single appearance modification that improves a Stingray more than a Z06 grille swap! They should all come that way.

I added a front splitter, side skirts and lowered it (factory springs). If I could only pick one of those aesthetic mods, it would, without a doubt be the cheapest one- the grill.
