Default Need advice....



Ok, so my buddy bought a wrecked Z. I'm snagging the grille off of it.

Now, I was thinking of powerdercoating it. I was thinking either satin black OR the antracite color that my rims have. What do you guys think?

Here is a pic or two of my Z.




Discuss.


Thanks!

Gray/Antracite. Because if you go black (outside of the tires) you really dont have anything else to tie in w/ that along the bottom. That and it'll really fade in w/ the MRM base. If you go w/ the other color choice, it'll flow better and it'll go perfect with your rims.

I'll say you can't go wrong with either. Black would go good on that color especially if you have or want a berger panel to sorta balance the car out. Polished or grey would go with the wheels nicely also. Nice lookin Camaro.

Why? What's it matter? They look good and they're different than the played out TT2's, ZO6's and ZR1's. I also didn't ask for opinions on the rims.

so those aren't played out? they are on 12 quadrillion 01-06 Mustangs

I guess you should get the Mustang taillights and fake hood scoop next. Why not some Z3 fenders...

Dude, did I ask for your opinions on my rims? No. I asked about the grille. If you don't have anything to add regarding the grille have a warm cup of shut the **** up. Also you see SOO many fbody's with Bullet rims. We're talking fbody rims, not Mustangs. Try to keep up.

I like them, a lot of other people have given me all kinds of compliments on them. A ton more people have said they like them compared to the number of people that said they don't.

Again, there is another cup of shut the **** up brewing for you.

I think it would look very original if you got the grille painted/powdercoated the smae color as your rims. I say go for it and post some pics when you're done

it's ok kiddo, no taste and no class - they go together.

j/k...

perhaps you should chill out? people give me thoughts on my car all of the time, negative and positive and i've never bitched about the negative. it's good to know people's thoughts on your car - both sides.
