dilema..cant decide which id rather have....

my 87 irco is silver with black racing stripse down all the way and is up for a new pint job (the same style but better quality) and i need a grill. i can either choose an all new GM IROC grill or a billet grill. for price the IROC one is better but i wanat a more custom look on my maro. would the billet grill look good with my pain scheme? or is the black GM IROC grill better?y

140 bucks???
crap*y ive seen 4thgen ones way cheaper then that on ebay...maybe they sell 3rd gen ones too,,i dont know the company off hand tho. Dude I would look for a used grill first Ive seen many for cheap...on ebay or at any of the sposored used parts guys here.
Personaly heres my opinion, I think the flush mount grill (billet) styles look too much like a plain camaro......If you got a real Iroc leave it that way.
cheak out the grill I made for my car for $6, but of course Im using the orig. grill too. I got the alum from a metal shop and mounted it behind the iroc grill to the foglight bar.

It takes a bit to have me leave a comment on the looks of someone's car....

Nice job with the grill.

May I suggest clear turn signals...it would clean the car up a bit, i think it would compliment it very well, and rid your car of the only yellow piece. Your car is entirely made up of black/white/grey hues.......go with clear turn signals..

Thanks man!!!!
I know what your saying,,,ive been watching them on ebay...i like em alot,,,im just low on funds right now but oh yes theyll be on for sure! I like the clean look. I got clear lens low beams coming in now,,,once I get them on im taking off the chrome lids. Yellow sucks,,,the only place I like it is on the rear lights.
