Nobody has ever done a front bumper conversion. It can't be done.

Come on Brandon. Look at his registration date, give him a break.

To the OP - You'll need new fenders, headlights, and a few other pieces in addition to the bumper. Look here for more info; https://www.camaroz28.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=425550

Re: LS1 bumper on 96 z

you want to change you SHARK front to a CATFISH LS1 lol jk

I think the LT1's look fine just the headlights need a lil love other then that LT1's have a style of there own.

anyways good luck with what ever you do.

sooo.... you want something like my bumper? or the 6LE like mentioned above? If you want somethin like that you've only got 2 options, 1 is bite the bullet and order it from 6LE or make your own and if you're not good at fabrication I would NOT suggest making your own which takes you back to having 1 option

Actually yes i do want that and im glad you told me that because now i know it looks sweet! i dont have the time/tools/know how to do the custom fab. so ill probably look into the 6LE ... where would i look to look into that.
