I don’t understand the fascination with the 6th gen front bumper. It looks stupid and out of place on these cars. They are perfect the way their mother (GM) made them. Just my opinion of course.

6th gen is an ugly car. Heritage grill 10-13. Perfect.

agree with MSgt O that does not seem like a DIY friendly situation. Be a bummer to do all that work and it not turn out well

at the very least most people probly consider it a flex of apparently owning a either newer or much more expensive model car

in her case she kinda had hoodgirl taste with flashy chrome wheels and chrome chain lic plate holders

I myself like the 2015 2LT look but also like the ss HALO lights that give it a mean eyeball staring at you look

I was interested at first, but after seeing it in person I changed my mind. It looks OK on refreshed 5th gens, but not on 2010-2013 cars, imo. It just doesn't flow well with the rear end. It loses that musclecar look. I recently bought the 5th gen ZL1 front bumper, just have to have it painted. I think those look awesome.

Couldn't disagree more. IMO the '14-'15 front is pure badass. The perfect blend of modern and retro. The 6th Gen face transplant looks like the marriage of two salvage title vehicles. For the record I wouldn't put a 5th Gen front on a 6th either.

If you never wrapped before and going to try it , stick with Avery Dennison or even KPMF wrap! Easiest to work with, Inozetek Is overpriced and would be hard for you to work with. I have KKvinyl on my car which is much cheaper but comparable in quality to Inozetek and its a beautiful wrap but again very hard to work with! Lot of shops wont even mess with Chinese branded wraps because of this.

Maybe I should have said it differently...What I mean is it looks less out of place on the refreshed cars, or just - less bad? Mainly because pre-refreshed cars have such a classic look with the rear end/taillights that it does not go well with the 6th gen front bumper at all. It truly looks like 2 different generations mashed together. But that's just my opinion. Some people love it, but it's just not for me. And for the record, I absolutely love the refresh 5th gen front bumper.

"The 6th Gen face transplant looks like the marriage of two salvage title vehicles" - I think that says it better than any of my explanations!
