C7 ZR1 front clip swap to C7 Z06 thread

however as more and more of the track guys give in (and warranties run out) and add the cheek coolers there very well could be a market for a front bumper cover that would fit the Z06 and accommodate the cheek coolers like the ZR1 bumper. I do think the GSpeed cut out with the trim piece looks fine and that's the route I am going for now.
Thank you for the business. Opening the box(s) will be overwhelming, but we will walk you through anything we can to help. We noted on the radiator, but when the fan and duct bolt to the radiator, watch for those little screws. They can easily get mixed up with longer screws and puncture the radiator.

The white C7 at the bottom , who makes that bumper?? That looks awesome!
To my eyes the ZR1 bumper has different lines at the top compared to the Z06 and would not be a like-for-like swap as the lines would not match up.
I'm really disappointed that GM didn't update the 2019 Z06 with similar additional cooling radiators and air vents for the LT4. Z06 owners aren't trying to be ZR1 posers, rather they desire a fix to a well-known issue. GM went cheap during the Z06 introduction using the same front fascia opening dimensions used on the LT1 and that proved to be incorrect. Even if they didn't want to duplicate the ZR1 front fascia, why not extend the mouth opening to be closer to the C7R to allow for the auxiliary coolers to be added? From a pure looks perspective, I still like the Z06 front fascia better.
I agree that aftermarket would be the better option.

That is work in progress and hasn't been made yet.

Okay so, just to confirm. The ZR1 front bumper will not just fit and bolt on to a regular C7? You need the hood, side fenders and the whole nine yards?

Right, you would need bumper, hood, fenders.
