Re: Grill from red to black!
The black looks allot better. Its sad to have to cover my red bowtie with a licence plate but its mandatory here in CA were I live also.I drove without it for as long as I could. Oh well. Maybe a set of these would look nice. They really helped my car. Here's the link= http://www.1aauto.com/1A/HeadLights/...08/271776/1989

Re: Grill from red to black!
Add some fog lights now along with new park lights and you will really be in business. After market fogs (which look close to factory) are under $20 for halogen.

Re: Grill from red to black!
For the record you can polish out your parking lights and they wont look THAT good, but they will look a LOT better for about $10.
Also, to the OP, def black looks great. The bowtie grille looks better, but you got 90 percent of that look by doing what you did.

Looks good. 
I think the only time the grill looks good painted is on a white Camaro.
