Which grill? Painted RS or "CAMARO" grill

Trying to decide which grill would look best on my Camaro. I have both so I guess Im undecided. My car is getting painted white, should I colormatch the RS grill or run the black Z/28 grill with the CAMARO painted white?

Here is the current grill on the car...

I have the Z28 ''Camaro'' Grill on my RS. Love it. I would love to keep it original but I just like it too much.

If you're headlamp buckets will be white, stick with the rs scheme and paint the rs grille. If you're going to paint the headlight buckets black, like an iroc or Z, maybe the Z grille. Unless you're restoring it to showroom condition, who cares about the originality of the grille, use the one YOU like.

Its going to be all white with 35% tint on the windows and the taillights tinted. May go with clear corners for the fenders. Its going to be my summer daily driver so I dont care about originality. Plus Im keeping this car since the main reason I bought it was because I felt like something was missing since I sold my 89. Also the RS is a 6 cyl (for now...) so I doubt its worth anything.

My 91 rs is white with white z28 rims on it. So I painted the rs grill white also. It gave it that nice smooth look.

I despise the RS grill whether it's painted or not. I swapped in a Z28 grill with the "camaro" lettering and never looked back.

I'll also put a vote in for the Z28 grille. I too have both, but once I put the Z one on, I never looked back!

But as was said before, it's YOUR car, so do what you like!! keep us posted on your decision
