Which grille should I get, bowtie or Camaro?

I'm going to get a new grille for my car, and I'm wondering what you guys think of them or prefer: the bowtie or the Camaro one?

They're both pretty nice, but I like the CAMARO lettering in silver better.

I like what you did with your grill, that is original.

It could go either way I like both setups but. I put a vote for the CAMARO grill because I think it will go better w/ your over all car. Although if you painted the the bowite on the grill silver or to match the car I think that could look real nice too. The red just dosen't go. Nice car and I am sure it will look nice either way.
