rear bumper options
I know that there are two different rear bumber covers. I have the High Sport one with the wrap around ground effects. I need a new one since my accident. Can I just buy a new cover without the ground effects since the price is like 400$ more on GM parts. I cannot seems to find a used one.

Yes, the high sport is just a clip that gets added to the bottom, it's not fully molded into the bumper.

So if I take the lower extension part off my current rear bumber cover, I should be able to add it to a bumber cover that does not have the High Sport option?

The template only comes with new OEM High sport Kits. There is no template sold seperatly that I know of. GM does not have a part number for the template.
Replacment SS bumpers come with the slots cut out. If you buy and LS bumper, than you could make a template from your SS bumper a use it the trtansfer the slots and holes locations on to the new/used LS bumper.

Not all SS covers have the high sport kit slots already there.
For example, that was only a pace car option in 2000. And it was an option for most SS cars, it made them say "limited edition" too.
So if the slots don't exist, then you do need the template somehow to add your rear extension on the new bumper.
