G5 GT - SS Rear lip interchangeable?

Just like it says, are they?

always wondered this. Would it be a straight across bolt up or would you have to mod clips and such?

For sure, I wonder if anyone has this done on here and could post pics????

I think the GT rear lip makes everything look so much cleaner... If it is indeed a complete bolt up I may be looking to trade in the spring for a VR one.... Do you know if they made VR GT's? (Ive never seen one)

ss lip matches the reverse lights of the g5 bumper nicely.

Like this? It's not an ss, but it has the body kit.

Let me know how it goes b/c I would only want to do it if its 100% doable without modding anything...




I think the SS rear looks so much better on a GT b/c of the curving on the lights and I feel the GT lip on the SS just looks so much more clean....

Thanks to all for the input and pics!
