6th gen front bumper on 5th gen

I can’t imagine it’s something you can just buy and put on in a weekend

Doesn't look like an actual 6th gen bumper. But a 6th gen inspired aftermarket bumper. That being said, if it requires minimal work to fit, I'd probably rock it. And I'm definitely not a fan of most aftermarket bumpers.

It's pretty unique but the drivers side needs a little more work. The passenger side lines up better

Looking at stuff on instagram while you have 7% battery life I see. I too like to live life on the wild side.

Doesn’t GM spend a lot of engineering and wind tunnel time on the front end for cooling and aerodynamic purposes? I wonder if this will affect both.

That must be why our cars have the aerodynamic properties of a brick lol

The bumper looks like the ZL1 knockoff made by American Authority for the gen 6. Im not personally a fan of it. It’s a little off. This however makes it look even worse.

Best not change hoods, spoilers, wheels, tires, suspension because, you know, GM put a lot of time into engineering.
