Yes it will. I thought of doing the front and rear and then I saw the Holden options, so who knows!

I wish like hell I was. My dealer STILL doesn't know when he's getting his. I think I'll be one of the first in North Carolina to get one as long as my dealer doesn't fuck me over.

thats lame. but yeah i hope everything on the inside lines up. (clips, pegs etc). my buddy who's a mechanic says we might have to cut the rebar? off to make it sit right. is that what that big piece of steel is called thats in between the bumper and the chassis for accident purposes?

I've always called it the bumper bar. I thought rebar was used in concrete work to reinforce it.

yeah true, sounds like a term that could be used to describe what he was talking about in that application.

Charlie, do you look into the rear Holden bumper? With the lights lower I'm wondering how difficult it will be.

body shop cant order gxp bumper until early spring when the east coast dealers are supposed to get their cars. LS1-SS YOU HEAR THAT!!! you might be waiting till spring, get on the phone buddy, people are fuckin up. and if you get yours early put a scratch in it and order a new one asap, i'll take it and repaint it, lol.

The rear quarters are different. I dont know if they make a filler panel that could be put in and the body work done to duplicate it.
