I am looking at doing some visual upgrades. I had installed a z06 grill in my 14 Z51 front bumper but looking for something different.

How happy are people with the Zr1 conversion bumper?

I don’t know if I want to run side skirts but looking to redo my rear diffuser as well.

If you upgraded to something other than stock and you like it. Post a picture and let me know the pro’s and cons.

thanks

I added the Z06 grill, Z06 fender ducts, and full length side skirts. I have a ZR1 bumper that I’ll put on at some point (been saying that for 2 years now) but I’ve heard they’re lower than the splitters so it’s an additional concern if you already scrape the splitter or bumper.

I like the blacked out, full length side marker lights, very thin pin striping, carbon fiber interior coverups, X-pipe. All can be removed and returned to original.

I have the ZR1 front bumper and like the way it looks but it rubs just about anywhere. I have trimmed some off the lower part of the winglet but it still rubs. guess I could have the tech raise the front ride height a bit when I have the alignment done.

I actually like the GS/Z06 front grille better than the ZR1 version. I put a set of the full length Z06 side skirts on the car - love the look and they really help protect the side of the car.

Personally, I think the ZR1 grill is a bit too much on a non-ZR1 Corvette. But do what YOU want to YOUR car!!

I added the Z06 front grill and the stage 2 and 3 splitter, side skirts and rear spoiler.

I switched the stock chrome wheels out with reproduction Z06 black chrome wheels today…did the skirts, mud flaps, and splitter a couple of months back and have the smoked side marker lights to go in next.
