Re: Which Grill?
I like the bowtie grill WAAAAAY better than the billet grille. Billet is cool, but it just doesn't fit our cars.
.....and of course you should paint your headlight buckets black!

Re: Which Grill?
Yeah, keep the bowtie grill and the headlight buckets need to be the body color. To me, the black headlight buckets always looked like an afterthought. It's a matter of preference I guess, but I like mine the body color. 89 RS, 305 TBI, 700R4. T-Top, 60k original miles, Fowmaster exhaust.

Re: Which Grill?
I'm a fan of the black buckets and black grill with red bowtie. It helps to have the black stripes to pull it all together.

Re: Which Grill?
Hey will the 89-92 Louvered grille fit the 85-88 cars. I cannot afford to spend $300 on fog lights (why are they so expensive) and cannot find aftermarket fog lights to fit the bracket. So I like the louvered look but like the 85-88 look better. So has anyone done this install? Let me know before I go buy one. Thanks to any and all that reply.

Re: Which Grill?
You can also do something like I did...
I made a bowtie out of very thin aluminum and install it over top of the factory bowtie.....just something a little different
