I bought a 01 Camaro SS that came with an LT1 front
i bought the front bumper,fenders,Head lights & hood

I tried searching in gmpartsdirect but couldnt find what is needed.

i believe theres a stick at the top of the appearance section... but if not... you have everything besides fog lights... and there are 3 brackets for each side of the front frame to hold the new bumper/fender out to where it should be. ill try findning part numbers for you. search ebay for 98 camaro front bracket

Thats what I plan on doing!
I was going to pick up another 93-97 and do an lsx swap, but I weighed the options and I would be better off picking up a ls1 car and swapping the front clip.

i'm sorry but i just have to say that scorpion looks kinda nasty. and i think you should stick with the LT1 front end, it looks much better than the LS1 front end. at least everyone know thinks your a slow LT1 and you really have an LS1(even thou most guys who run their mouths here have a decently fast LT)

but just my .02 cents im sure you didnt want.
