Default Camaro with billit grills...whos filled in the CAMARO indentations?

Ever since I installed my black powedercoated grill, I can still see the CAMARO indentations in the center of the bumper and its driving me nuts, especially now with the 69 bowtie. Anyone smooth theirs out?

Here is what im talking about...



Was thinking of filling the letters in and then masking off the rest of the bumper and painting behind the grill either the factory paint or a flat black.

Just wondering if Im the only one whos picky about little stuff like that...

I filled mine in. Black billit with silver inserts on a black Camaro. Looks good. Had to take off my red bowtie from the center of the grill though. I like it.

I would try painting behind the grill flat black first. The gloss makes "camaro" stand out more. (But filled would be the best way)

edit: like this

I would get the Camaro fill in's that EmblemPros sale that's like the ones for the back but made for the front since the letters are smaller.

+1 on the flat black. Mine doesn't seem to be as noticeable as yours.

The "no grille" look is growing on me, especially on dark cars. It has less of a catfishy look.

I have to paint behind my grill black(white car) it does look good tho. I have a few questions to OP where did you get the white turn signals at? And to everyone rough estimate on just getting the front clip painted? Thank you

Not my car, but saved the pic because I loved the front end look with the old school Camaro script like what you are talking about, pretty sure this one is a custom deal.


This thread is making me want to go flat black behind my grille. Anyone have a close up pic of theres while you were painting it so I have an idea of where you taped off the factory color and where the black starts? My car is still 30 miles away for winter storage or I'd go figure it out myself.
