Default Does the C6 Z06 front bumper cover fit on the C6's?

I was wondering if I could buy a C6 Z06 front bumper cover for my C6 because i like how the little induction looks. If not does anyone know any sites that sell them for the C6 or what I would have to do to the Z06 to make it work. I do have a autobody backround. Thanks guys:confused

You are looking at a lot more than the front bumper to make it work correctly. Some have done it but be aware it does not mate up to the C6 fenders correctly. The common areas to do the "conversion" are the entire front (Hood + fenders).

It's one of those so close but yet soooo far scenarios...
yeah it will bolt up but if you search the vette forums you can find pics that show how it trails out where it meets the front of the C6 fenders. The ZO6 fenders flare out wider and they are expensive carbon fiber pieces.

On the bright side there are Lingenfelter hoods that have a scoop in them and bulge up to clear a Magnuson Supercharger. There are a couple to choose from. There is one that in my opinion, looks more aggresive than the ZO6 front end, and is a more original way to go yet still tasteful!
Then if you got the money spring for the supercharger. 7G's!

I found it... it was corvetteforums.com heres the link if anyone is interested. Going for $875. Im waiting to see what one looks like actually painted an on a stock C6, take a look at the link best way to go thus far...compared to the $5k front conv. The hood alone isnt looking like a bad way either though

Don't see a link?
This is the Lingenfelter hood by Starcraft that I saw in person and lt has a real mean look. There is one that is taller and looks like overkill, then the twin turbo one and a mild looking one.
