2016 Front end
After seeing the 2018/19 ZR1 frontend, I want one for my 2016 stingray. Anyone out there know of an after Market company making a custom front end for the C7???

Don't make your stingray look like a model it is not. If you want the distinct look of the ZR1, buy a ZR1 don't make a poser copy.

My car can be modded any way I prefer. If it fits and I like it, I put it on the car.

There was an earlier post about an owner of a Grand Sport who modified it for serious track use with a tune, suspension upgrade, full cage, etc. and then added a ZR1-like rear wing that connected to the frame of the car to improve downforce, etc. Guys called him a "poser" for the wing which made me laugh. Here was a guy getting full use of his Grand Sport and driving it like it was meant to be driven and there were guys who owned a ZR1 and never intend to track it or drive it beyond their local cars and coffee waxing events giving him a hard time. Amazing.
As to the aftermarket ZR1 fascia, I like the looks of some of the molds, however I'm waiting to see if there are some good cooling mods, multiple radiators, etc. that can make the mold functional as well.
I was reading the ZR1 forum and some owners are pointing out that the track rubber and debris is damaging the front wheel well vents which then damages the new extra cooling radiators which are installed on the other side.

I agree. To me a "poser" is an owner who mis-represents his car as something else than what it really is. Everything else is just customized mods.
