Default A different Z06 grill question

I'm not looking to upgrade my grille -- my 2019 Z06 already has cameras.

Today when cleaning my car, I noticed that a couple fins in the grille are broken, like from a rock impact.

My question: Since I already have the cameras, can I buy the no-camera Z06 grill and transfer over the cameras?

I don't think so; there won't be a mount.

You can try melting the plastic retainers and move your camera mounting plates over. But it could be tricky. You can buy a grille that's prepped for cameras, but doesn't actually have them. I don't think the price is much different than the no-camera grille.

Had one of these on my Stingray. The version with camera brackets let me move my existing cameras to the new grille

I would just get the right grille with the camera mounts already on it and transfer the cameras to it. Not that much difference in cost and you know it will look good.
