whats the difference between the ls,lt rear bumpers and the ss,ss/sc bumpers??

 

Do a search for "fascia".....

 

... i did and found nothing to help

 

just a lip....

 

so what u are saying i could mout the ss/sc lip on my lt bumper....cause i have heard that u have to have the ss bumpers to do that

 

Yea after I wrote that post I went and did a search too and can't find the special thread on this either. Search is overrated!!!!

Halfcent did a good writeup on this and I can't find that post.....

 

lol i agree i can always depend on the search to fail me

 

it can be done w/ a lt ls bumper it's just like any other lip kit...now the front bumper is diff.

 

aight thanks...where could i get the rear lip for cheap

 

wont happen...unless you find an ss owner who got a body kit...chances are the lip is already spoken for...check junk yards or dish out the cash at the dealer

 

alright i have found t for 150 at gm parts direct

 

FRONT:
LS fascia has moulded grilles
LT has removable grilles and fog lights available
SS/NA has removable center grille and fog light mounts
SS/SC (TC) has the same as the SS/NA and has slots cut into it for the lip

REAR:
LS/LT same rear
SS/NA/SC has moulded area and slots for the lower panel, SS/NA has a solid "grille" panel while the SC has two "grille" openings in the lower panel (diamond pattern -- not exhaust cutout)

 

so i cant do it without some work..and where did u find tat info at

 

One could figure it out by just looking at the cars.

 

ya i know they are different because of the lip,,,,if the SS/SC didnt have the lip would it be just a regular ls/lt bumper

 

pretty much

 

what would it take for me 2 put the ss/sc lip on my back bumper??

 

theres been some dispute about whether or not you need the tabs for the slots or not but it should mount up to the stock fender wall bolts and you could...

a. cut holes for the tabs
b. use a strong ass adhesive or automotive 3M tape to hold the lip to the bumper...

personally i would cut the holes...

 

would it be cheaper to buy a whole new bumper with holes or cut holes in my existing bumper

 

lol...cut the holes....

 

alright cool

 

No..Front: if it didn't have the lip it would be the SS/NA bumper/fascia (think of it this way: the LS/LT lower grille opening is a "smiley" face -- The SS/NA/SC/TC lower grill opening is a "meany" face ); Rear, the LS/LT rear bumper/fascia is different from the SS version -- the bottom portion is moulded different to accept the lower panel.

I don't think it would be difficult to cut the slots (a template would be the best way), but the SS rear panel will still not fit the lower moulded area of an LS/LT rear fascia -- and yes, I tried but ended up returning the panel.

 

so ur saying i should just buy a whole new ss/sc rearbumper and lip??

 

If your goal is to use the lower panel from a SS/SC or SS/NA, IMO, yes. Give me a couple of minutes and I'll get the part numbers of the fascia and panels.

 

get read for about a $500+ price tag
