umm.. well you'd have the remove the whole front Bumper and instal an SS bumper.. It would look funny cause the SS Front Facia is lower than the LS or LT models.. other than that it should bolt right up. just a matter of finding one for sale from the factory it would cost a couple Hundred... But then why not just By the SS/NA sedan instead

Why not try masking off the whole area and using the GM paint and a few layers of clear coat?

yes the clear coat is for the glossy look but after you clear coat it a couple of times with sanding in between coats after you clear coat it you will be able to wax it and as for priming it depends on the type of paint you use some paints are specifically made for plastic and don’t need to be primed all you need to do is use some fine sandpaper and scuff it up a little bit otherwise the surface is to smooth and the paint wont adhere properly to it and flake off faster
