C7 Front Grill ????
I have a question that I know one of you guys can answer !! I got a chunk of my grill knocked out by some road debris and I'm trying to order another grill. The question is : if I have front cameras on my 2016 Z51 do I have to order a grill with the front cameras or can I order a grill without the cameras and use my cameras which were not damaged. And If I go with a ZO6 front grill which that's the only one that I could find that was under $200, that they said would fit my car. Have any one of you changed out your grill to a Z06 grill on a Stingray and if so could you post a picture so that I can get a feel of the look on the car. Also if someone have a take off grill for a Z51 that they want to get rid of let me know. Thanks JB

If you're buying factory GM parts, then my understanding is you cannot simply swap the cameras over to a non-camera grille. You'll need a grille made for models equipped with it (cameras included in the assembly). I've heard of z06 replica grilles that come with a way to mount the your existing cameras however.
Highly recommend switching to the Z grille since you'll have the bumper off anyway. Looks better and much better airflow.

Check out our version of the z06 grille. You can add our camera bracket kit in the options and reuse the oem cameras.

How did you mount the camera plate and bracket ?? we could not figure out how to screw the flat plate on to the grill. It had some screw holes on the plate but no where on the grill that lined up to mount the plate. I could see where to do the cut out for camera wire but got stuck in these flat plates. Will send pictures if that will help you understand my question better. Thanks in Advance !!! JB
