Talking custom Z28 stull grille - what do you think?

I finally found something that looks good (IMO) in the stull grille other than the SS emblem (my car isn't an SS, so that wasn't an option) What do you think? I haven't seen anyone else with it yet......

i like the rims on your car; i'm not a big fan of the ground effects, but if you keep them or not, you definetely should get a drop

i think the stull grill thing looks pretty good, although i would have just left it blank. there are enough badges on these cars already

and i'm also a little skeptical of the "400 hp" sticker i see on your hood. your mods don't quite add up to that amount i'm pretty sure...

I like the old Z emblems in the grilles.
also, I was wondering too why your hood says 400HP?

Oh btw, I like the 4th gen logo on yours. I like the 1st gen logos better, but only if all the 4th gen logos are replaced with them of course. I think you're suffering from emblem overload though since you have the logos on the wheels too. If you had the bowtie logos on the wheels or no logos on them I think it'd look better. Oh, and if I were you I'd paint/use a decal on top of (however you did it on the front) the other logos to match the one you have on the front.

Your car looks mean. I like.

Yeah, it's close enough. LS1s are faster than the 350s from back then anyway.

got the spoiler from Freedom Designs, but I'm almost positive it's the same one sold by LGMotorsports, an LS1Tech sponsor
one piece (no drilling holes in rear quarters) and gets some height without being ricey....here's a better look at it:

Default thanks

thanks for the comments guys - I know the gfx and the grille might not be everyone's taste, but it looks exactly the way I pictured it when I got it bone stock last summer...a lot of work but well worth it.

oh and as for the 400HP decals - if you look really close you can see and asterisk and a footnote that says "flywheel horsepower"

with all the new cars coming out boasting "300 HP", rather than explain drivetrain loss to every ricer that looks at my car, I figured I'd just use flywheel numbers too.

Stock, your car would be 345hp (flywheel) just like the rest of us with a LS1 F-Body. The F-Body is under-rated to make the Vette look better but our engine is just as fast. Gaining 55hp over that is not an easy task though. Same here, no offense, but I doubt you have near that much.

thos grilles would like nice if the outer mouth was lined with a matching (polished, chrome) as your rims. pshop it something, do a right/left angle with your rims turned full lock on the picture to pshop up and you'll see what i mean. with chrome it would look tight as hell.
