2016 Front Facia
Is this an OEM upgrade or aftermarket?
I'm considering buying a C7 and I don't think I've seen this front end before unless maybe on a Z06.
This is just a Z51 LT2 Stingray.

Definitely aftermarket. Not sure what brand that is but it doesn't look half bad.

Is that not a ZR-1 repro bumper?

If you look closely, the bumper color is a bit off. That is if you're **** about small details.

That's what I meant, not Z06...
But I really like it on this car.

Your eyes are better than mine then. I'll see if I can have someone take better pics in natural sunlight. It's not local to me.

I noticed that too, almost before I noticed the ZR-1 style bumper cover.

I would do a Z06 front end instead but that's just me.

Yes as pointed out ZR1 to me it takes away some of the sleekness of the Stingray body lines.
