Your opinion needed!! front plates

I have a 1986 z28 I just painted the car, it is artic white with black 4th gen emblems, 17 inch chrome wheels and the standard z28 louvers. In the front there is a place where a front plate can be mounted it has a few places where the previous owner puts screws in it. What would you put there?? I was thinking about a chrome plate with a bowtie. I'd like for it to be like the ones i've seen that says camaro and is black ( not sure if its an insert or what) but I need your opinions on what to do and pics would be great. If it didn't have the holes i'd just leave it the way it is but it looks tacky.

Heres a pic to show what I mean by the holes..

I'd suggest putting a grill on it, like you said that black think with the camaro letters on it. They're $55 new on hawksthirdgenparts.com.

Camaro New GM 85-90 Grille IROC w/ fog lamps w/ Z28 - GM-C112

EDIT: looks like this:

IMO the red bowtie has the better look. However, If you want to go with the more correct 1986 OE look stick with the CAMARO grill.
