I've went to a few shows and some of the people mentioned that the grill was a little to much. After standing back...and looking at it....it does stick out alot. Do you guys think I should go back with the original black SS grill or stick with the billet grill?

 

Are you talking about the grille in your hood, or front of car? Please post pics of both options.

 

hes talking about the hood. there was no thirdgen ss....

and i dont think it's too much, i love the billet.

 

I know there was no third gen ss, but you never know, he said grille, made me think of grille, not hood, which is not a third gen hood either.

 

seemed obvious to me

 

I honestly don't like the billet. I'd stick with the black.

 

I'd go with the black. But the way it is now is not "too much" at all. I just think black would look better.

 

who cares either way , put the choices in a hat on paper and pick one . Its fine either way .

 

Well, you know I like the billet
But why not take the best of both and powder coat the billet grille black? That way it gets less noticable and you don't have to put back on the cheap @$$ stock plastic grille?

Just my $.02

Ken-

You read my mind exactly


anyone care to do a photoshop?

 

are those the stock fog light if not which ones are they?

 

ken is a wise man.

 

yeah, there the stock fog lamps.

Well, I'm in the process of painting the grill...will post pics when done.

 

Are you going with a satin finish or a gloss finish?

 

I personally don't subscribe to the mindset that every part of the car must serve the aesthetics of the entire vehicle.

By that I simply mean I enjoy little avant-garde touches (such as your grille) when I check out custom cars at shows. Just because it perhaps doesn't traditionally fit in with the rest of the vehicle doesn't mean it can't complement the car as a whole.

In short, it's perfect just as it is.

 

i absolutely love the grille...i'd keep it, but if you wanna get rid of it, i'll be the first to buy it...i already have a billet grille that i'm gonna "try" to cut out, but it'll be tons of work...but if you wanna get rid of it, i'll take it off your hands...

 

I don't think it stands out too much at all. I don't think anything on your car stands out a lot except the car itself. But if you want to change it, I agree with Ken's powdercoating idea.

 

i think it looks sweet as is....id leave it

 

Is it finished with paint yet?

 

I say stick with billet man just goes with the rest of the car. Maybe stick it back under the scoop further if possible so it doesn't catch light so much.

 

I thought it looked great the way it was... post some pics when you get it painted and reinstalled.

 

it's done, now I just need to make some time to take a few pictures to post

 

I think it looks fine but i could see why people would say that.
I think the CAMARO grill is perfect because i always like the font the used.

 

You must be thinking of the foglight grill. We are actually talking about the grill in my SS hood. BTW, the bowtie grill is staying...

 

I'm starting to wonder if the brushed bowtie will look out of place without the billet to compliment it. We'll see though, get those pics up.

 

I shadowed these pictures a little, to show what the grill looks like now. I'll have my car out here in a few weeks..and will post fresh pictures




and one for fun

 

Wow that looks great. Much better

 

I think it looked better the way you had it... my 2 cents

 

Yes it does, ahhaha and I was thinking foglight grill
