what kind of "stuff"? You could always spray paint anything behind it with some satin black spray paint if it's nothing that won't get hurt. Or, you could stick a set of foglights in there

two solutions... either get a trenz billet grille like this and mount it over that bowtie

or put some black or silver mesh behind in that area so u can't see like others have done on the board.

or get a set of foglights. believe it or not i have foglights behind this trenz grille lol that work perfectly at night.

A lot of people just install a mesh grille to cover up the "holes." I just finished up mine last weekend.

Here's a pic:

(Please excuse the chipping paint and body work, it will all be fixed soon )


If you do a search for "Z28 grille" you'll find plenty of pictures of similar set-ups.
