    You just saved me so much money. Was thinking about this for my (lowered on stock bolts) '17Z06, but wow, that is way too low, I drive my car everywhere. Thanks, sir!💥🙏🏾💥

    This info was spot on bro!
    I was seriously considering doing the ZR1 front on my Z06, but even with my Stage 3 front, I can barely get out of my driveway (and I’m on stock suspension). Thanks for saving my pockets!

    I was really thinking about doing this to my torch red Z51 convertible. It looks cool, but I thought it might be too low. You confirmed it. Thanks for doing this video.

    Hey brother, thanks for the video. What if you're sitting at C7 Stingray (non Z51/Z06) ride height. How do you feel about this bumper at that normal ride height?

    I put the ZR1 Conversion Kit on my Z51. Yes, it's gorgeous. However at 138 mph in the cold, what I call the conversion piece shattered. They give you a cheap thin plastic piece that lines up with the corners, ties into the ZR1 Bumper and then holds up the lower air deflector. This little thin piece of plastic is the only thing holding up the lower air dam and the enormous pressure is to much for it to handle. NOW, Guess what? They don't sell parts! You can find the splitter on Ebay and that's it. I was able to salvage the passenger side corner piece. I got a quote from a 3D printer to make the part and they wanted almost $4,000. I asked my supplier if they could even trace it out for me. NO WAY. No matter how cool this looks--do not buy it. I am trying to make a mold out of plywood and balsa wood to make a fiberglass piece.

    • @TheSpeedBug
      @TheSpeedBug  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for watching. Yes, you understand out the box there is no support for the lip. Now you can buy them on EBAY, but years later and you are right, they will not sell you parts. Over all looked great, but no way. This is why I took it off.

    I know this might come as a surprise and hurt feels..but I really do wish they could make it *harder* to use upbadged parts on the pleb examples. You help ruin the allure and exclusively of the zr1 nameplate when you slap parts and aero bits on a z51 and lower.
