How would it look?

So, the kid that had my camaro before me, did some interesting things to it. He got it painted at macco for something like 200 bucks....so it has some problems. Either he asked them to or they just decided to paint the grille body color. I dont mind it, but its kinda different, and im not sure if itll work with what im trying to do. Im thinking about painting the headlight pockets satin black, how do you guys think itd look?

I think the grill looks decent body coloured. I'd keep it.

Well, i went ahead and painted them, ill probably post some pics a little later on when im more confident its dry enough to move the car into some light. So far id say it looks pretty cool, best 4 bucks ever.

Keep the grille the same color as the car. It's different but I like it, I may do it to mine.

Re: How would it look?

Click to see my car (the linke that says "check out my babe" below). I have a '91 teal RS, came stock with ugly grill etc etc. I painted the headlight buckets satin black and switched over to the Iroc grill, with some swap meet 5 dollar fog lights.

Of course my car needs a wash/polish/wax job *L*
