Default Front facsia (bumper) swap from an lt1 to an ls1 T/A?

I was just wondering if anyone had ever seen/heard of an lt1 front bumber swap/conversion to the new ls1 bumper? Or vica versa? Thanks in advance.

Haven't seen it on a T/A, but a guy in our car club took his LT1 Camaro and put an LS1 front end on it.

Yes ive seen it done..From whati hear its a B*tch to do because of all the fittings and adjustings but i know its possible..Theres a website that a guy made showing you how he did it..just go to a search engine and put in "ws6 conversion" and it should come up..its a green car..

I've seen it before. Some guy replaced the front clip of his LT1 Ws6 to a LS1 Ws6 front end.

Default Wow...

Well, I guess that pretty much answers my question, T-WrEcKzSiLv-RBiRdY. Thanks. I don't think i would ever go all out like that, heh. I was just curious. I wonder what that guy will put as the year of that car when he tries to sell it, it is basically identical to an ls1 heh.

I bought a 97 firebird that was crunched in the front then i found a 99 complete for 1000.00$ with no title i am going to do it cause i have everything and cause the lt1 is crunched anyway. we looked at it and it doesnt look to bad to do you just need to get all the parts. i seen one on ebay and the guy said a 97 with a 99 front end on it it looked great
