I'm not sure how exactly to go about this so I am asking for your help!

Does the ground effects packge automatically come with the purchase of a ZL1 front bumper? Should I order the ZL1 front bumper, DRL fog lights and VR ground effects packge? Should I order the ZL1 front bumper and DRL fog lights and have the ground effects painted VR?

And where should I order?

Thank you!!!

I did the ZL1 conversion on my 2012 2LT/RS. I kept my current grille. I got the ZL1 side rockers half painted to match stock ZL1s. I also got the ZL1 trunk spoiler but did not get the ZL1 rear diffuser. I got the harnesses from 2SSRS-very helpful guy. 2SSRS's Gen5DIY site has an excellent front end conversion list to get you started. From there you can add additional parts to your liking. I ordered my parts and had them painted from Maureen at Rodgers Chevrolet. Competitive prices and great service. Hope that helps.

If you connect the harness will you be able to have all the lights on at the same time?
Or will only the bottom fog light and head light be on at the same time?

I got pretty much everything i needed for the conversion minus the harness and the fogs (which im gettin off ebay) from my dealership. For what most of the vendors are selling their front bumper kits unpainted, i was able to get the front bumper, all the parts, AND the rockers for under $1200 and it will all be in here in a week and i dont have to pay for shipping. It all really depends on your dealership. At first they quoted me the list price for everything which is crazy. But after some light negotiations i was able to get a 20% discount. All i need now is to get it painted.
