My new grille

well i needed some money so i sold my old bowtie grille. i always loved the look of the open grille. my exhaust guy just happen to have some nice mesh so i just put 2 and 2 together and came up with this. i might add a little bowtie emblem to the center somehow.

Re: My new grille

I like it! Looks different. Maybe you could put one of the billet bowties for chevy trucks in the middle of it.

Re: My new grille

The mesh does not look bad. I prefer the bowtie grille...you just had to sell it before I could ****** it up...

Re: My new grille

If you ever get tired of it, you could always pull it off of there and grill steaks on it.....

LOL

not a believer of selling parts off of a car cuz u need money... how much could u have gotten for a used z28 grille. new one looks ok but if ur going to a stick a red bowtie on it u may as well have left the stock grille on... now maybe a 1st gen style 'Z28' emblem off center would be ok

Re: My new grille

i didnt just sell it cause i needed money. i wanted to do this in the first place. i did it on my other iroc and loved it. thats part of the reason i sold the part that im not goin to use anymore. dont like the idea of the 1st gen badges on it.

Re: My new grille

i like bowtie grill better... what you could have done is use both... used the bowtie grill then used your black grill where the fog lights would have been...
