All RS's came with the slotted grille from the factory.

But because it is kinda ugly IMO, people have thrown it out in favor of the Z28/IROC grilles. I plan on doing that very soon.

I thought that some did come with them...oh well, i just know mine didnt come with that grille because the fog lights are on an aftermarket switch. Thanks for the info Mike

I believe some of the 89-90 rs cars came with the foglight grill as an option, not sure about the 91-92 cars though.

The Special Edition 25th Anniversary RS's may have come with Z28 grills. But not the IROC ones that say "Camaro". Interestingly enough, my 92 RS had the "Camaro" grill on it too when I bought it.

They dont block that much. 90* of the air flow comes from the lower air dam for the rad. anyways. Looks at the TA's etc.

if the air came from the front facia then they would all be in trouble.

Not necessarily. My Camaro had all kinds of that black cardboardish stuff that routed the air from the grille directly up to the area where the hood latches for the air intake. It didn't ever get to the radiator.
