You can always get a billet grill and get it powder coated black.

It would match black headlights pockets good.

You talking all black, or black except the faces, uncoated/machined back to billet?

Re: Black billet camaro grille

I'v seen Black billet grill on a 4th gen and it looked pretty good, I plan to do the same to finsh off my car. Best prices I've seen are the once on ebay. The 4th gen guy said he used a zinc primer, then black and a clear coat.

Is there any other black details on your car? It may look out of place if there is no other black details even with tinted windows.

***The picture below is not the 4th gen but you get an idea for your car.

Dunno if any come black, but you could easily have one powder coated black.

I painted my handles and locks gloss black, as well as the headlight holders them self, not the pockets

Re: Black billet camaro grille

i like it kinda gives it the black out look. i'll probably but a regular billet grille and put it on and see how i like it and then decide whether or not to black power coat it
