I just dropped the kit off to get painted and it will be done by mid next week, we're giving it a couple extra days to dry because we're transporting it from his shop to my garage, so I can install t myself. I have one question about the install.. the front bumper/lip and side skirts will bolt right onto the factory LS holes so i'm not worried about them, but it seems like the rear lip has a few holes that dont match up to the LS bumper so it might only be supported by the clips and 3M rocker molding tape, is this a problem? i don't want to have it wiggling, looking cheap, and i certainly dont want to have to buy a whole new bumper, tell me what you know, thanks


I read the How-to and he said 2.2 guys would need a new bumper cover, i'm thinking i can get aroudn this because they're the same shape.... i think

Yes it will fit if you take the bumper off you will see the slots that GM uses to cut out little slots for the SS/SC and TC lips to fit it.... you have to do some cuttin' and some screwing to get it to work! But yes it is the same bumper as the SC/TC minus the lower lip!
