Is the 2016 Cali Special front bumper different?

[MurphDog]

I've had my '16 GT Premium Cali Special since early January and am finally getting a chance to wash it today. I noticed some spacing between the right fender and the front bumper. Looks like some clips broke and I'm guessing it's not repairable. Is it the same bumper found on the GT? I'm starting to look for a replacement.

It looks the same as mine. I’m sure someone will chime in on fixing it, there’s guys taking the front bumper off all the time for several reasons.

You don't need a new front bumper.

The tabs that hold the bumper in place are easy to fix for someone who knows how to do it. I've done it on my 2011 Chevy Cruze and on my oldest son's car. Anyone at a reputable body shop will know how to remove the bumper; repair the broken tab(s) and re-install the bumper in a couple of hours..., three at the most.

There are probably 3 million videos on YouTube explaining how to repair those tabs.

I think CJ Pony parts has some upgrade connectors that fixes that problem.

They have these things called a Quik-Latch Front Bumper Latch Kit but I don't want those things on the outside of the bumper being seen.

Bodyshop can repair it like VooDooDaddy mentioned or you can order a new bumper cover, the GTCS is only different in the grilles and the front splitter which you can transfer over.
