Default stock grille painted arctic white w/ orange inserts

***ADDED Orange retro Z/28 nose emblem***Just wanted to get some opinions on this, did the best I could for a home job, Duplicolor Perfect Match GM Paint, isnt exactly perfect mtch either, went with the Acrylic Orange inserts from emblempros. This is my first modification to the car! Black Projector/halos will really set it off i think.

Good work but to much white for my taste. IMHO, the front needs to be toned down a little.

Honestly it does seem like too much white in that second picture. The first picture looks pretty damn good with that orange, maybe a better quality picture would help settle this little dispute. Either way, the stockers look like **** so im sure its better nice work!

Yeah I like the look of the first pic,but I don't care for the on car pic with it on the car,I think you would be better off taking it off and getting the front bumpers holes filled in,just my opinion though ,as long as you like it that's all that counts

Honestly when I first looked at it I thought, "eh." Then I went back up and stared at it

That with black projectors/halo's is gonna look great man.

How about too much red? Lol. Yours looks good in white. And if you see this car driving around JBLM, give me a honk....I'm stationed on the McChord side.

That's what I was going to say. That some black headlights would balance it enough. Looks good!

I think it looks good, not like it's much more white then taking it out and having the holes behind it. Plus it looks way better than the stock black.
