Pardon my ignorance but what is the difference between the 25th anni grill and the RS grill?

So let me try to interpret what you are saying...You like the idea of a 92 anni style grill painted body colour. You don't like the gloss black because you feel it cheapen's the paint job. So I'm having a hard time understanding your bottom line here. Sorry, but I've been up since very early this morning.

The Camaro Nationals are usually the second weekend in June of every year. You should definately try to make it out. It's hosted by the Ontario Camaro Club.

leave 'em black

I think you should leave 'em black, the black really sets of the front end' of your car with it being white.

After seeing this thread ( https://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/sho...hreadid=136808 ) I'm not sure now...the white pockets and white grill don't look too bad on this one. Of course this car is much much more customized than mine will ever be.

The more I look at your car the more I find my eyes focusing on the black. The flames become a secondary thing. To me it should be the flames that catch your attention first. So I still say white pockets would help to highlight your paint job.

I didn't even notice you had flames until someone mentioned them, then I saw the photoshop and was like "Yea..... he does have flames, doesn't he?"

the picture in the thread your talking about is the 25th anniversary z28 grill..........this grill that cam on the white versions comes in white. that i think would look great on your car. the rs version........basically the plastic vent looking grill looks cheap in my opinion. but that is my own; just giving you suggestions that's all.

as far as the pockets.......on the car in your thread you described i agree with the all white or solid color....this is because there are already so many colors on the car i think it would look silly to paint them black. it's strictly a basis to basis idea. with the fact your car would be all white minus the ghost flames and your basic rims, lights, etc. it would be a toss up and a personal thing. if the rest of your car is one color i think you should go witht the black, if you have a multi color car or tricked out front end then i would probably go with solid as well...........seeing as you only have a little bit of ghost flames and they aren't a totally different color the i think the black would be better. but, it's your car so do what you like.

if the nationals are in june that doesn't interupt the camaro superfest here in ann arbor during the first week of july so i will definately try and make it out this year. you should come to ann arbor. last year they had almost 450 camaros compared to their 370+ of last year and the little over 300+ the year before........who knows how many will be there this year.

good luck with the decision.........i hope to see it in person one day.
