Default ZR Vs C5.5 Front Bumpercover

Does anyone have any first hand experiance with the ZR front bumper cover offered for the C5's?

Do they fit well?
Quality?
Hidden issues?

I was lookin for either the ZR style or the C5.5 cover offered by I think dura flex
Eitherway

My fear is that I will make the wrong choice and my vette will look like one of those civics that have only a bumper cover on it and no ground effect (ah' snow plow per say)
Also, fitment is everything to me, if I could put the C6 fenders hood and bumper on my C5 I prob would but, I would imagine that's not possible
(love the C6 Z06 front end)

(and Azz end, and engine, and wheels) lol

Any advice, suggestions, or alternates would be greatly Appriciated
Thanks all

For me, the ZR front fit pretty bad and needed a lot of body work to get it to match the rest of the body lines.

I think it's hard to mix and match the sharp angles of the C6 with the flowing curves of the C5. To me, these parts look out of place.
