I have never heard of them being different so I would say YES, all C5's F&R bumpers are the same.

1997-2004 nose and tail are all identical, whether fixed roof coupe, removeable roof coupe, convertible, or Z06. The 2006 Z06 nose, tail, quarters, and fenders are different than the rest of the C6's.

One must be accurate when answering questions! A red rear bumper is not the same as a silver rear bumper.Same is true of other colors.If you you don't believe me try putting a red rear bumper on a silver car, the difference will become instantly noticable!

One must also understand that, at least for the "enlightened," some things are understood and don't need to be voiced.

Enlightened is a term that I find lacking, all over the internet. And there is no such thing as a given! Ask the last miscreant that tried to break into my car. He assumed that only an idiot would walk around with a loaded gun, and that only an idiot would pull the trigger. He assumed wrong in both instances. It is a given though, if a 240 grain 44 magnum bullet passes by your ear that you will either **** your pants or **** them or both....but that only occurred in this one instance so you can't really say it was a given, just a high probability...Since you don't have one, I would be more than happy to donate some money to buy you a sense of humor.

Speaking of lacking a sense of humor..........

Concerning unsubstantiated "war stories," save them. I've already heard them all from the plethora of blowhards that came before you.
