the whole radiator shrouding that directs air from the lip entrance up to the radiator. It's vital if you plan on using a solid grill.

Also wouldnt be a bad idea to get the parking lights and fog assy, as well as the lighting wiring harness from the bulkhead forward, but you'll have to add one extra wire inside for the fogs, OR you will have to splice into that feed under the hood to operate them.

I added the wire to the bulkhead when I had my dash out so I could use the factory Z26 light switch.

make sure for the rear bumpers, you get the steel rods that support the lower part of the skirt right behind the wheels. Also, did you grab the plastic covers that sit under the bumper to keep the water and crap out from under the car? I think the fender liner is also different between the base and the GTZ models but dont quote me on that.

Fender liner is the same, but you do need the lower plastic parts for the front half of the bumper, as well as the lower scraper that bolts to below the radiator support.

Basically you need all the plastic crap you had to remove to get the bumper off.

OK, so stupid question. Are you trying to make a car look like a GTZ, or handle/perform like a GTZ? Those 2 goals require an entirely different set of parts from the donar car. All of the responses in this thread are aimed at the 'looking' like a GTZ goal, minus the obvious - seats.

If you want a car that performs like a GTZ, then you have a totally different set of parts to get.
