Default !Billet Grille

Well I took out the Billet Grille today....I really like the grill"less" look

But look at my bumper/hood gap, it looks off, or is it just the picture?

You really need to put the grille back on!! The no grille looke is horrible.

That gap does look a little to big. But in the other pics it looks fine....mayb its just the angle of the pic

Question Hood To Bumper Alignment

My camaro has same problem except the gap isn't so bad as it appears the front bumper cover needs to be raised to meet the hood panel. Everthing else appears to line up except where the hood meets the cover , which kinda drops down a bit. Shouldn't there be a smooth transition from hood to bumper with no drop-off?

I personally think a billet grill just totally sets the front end off, its almost like rims for your front end it just makes that much of a differance. I say put it back on but that's just my opinion.

I thought about painting it black but I think that looks tacky on a black car...

Trust me, when the car is done (whistler,corners,holes filled) and the baby get's detailed, you won't mind her grill=less.....I may get the silver camaro inserts too....or maybe a SLP bowtie

that would be a great idea, i would think - clear corners + whistler + holes filled along with the stainless CAMARO inserts for the front. that would actually look pretty classy.

not too crazy about the grill-"less" look as it stand right now, but, u just gotta clean her up a bit an she'll be fine!

I would put it back on as well, it contrasts the front-end really well with it on.

Put it back on man.

Black cars need shiny things to set them off.

well i'm going to have to go ahead and say i like the !grille mod. I also did it to my car and I'm not saying it looks ******* awesome without it, but it looks better than the pos piece of plastic that was on mine, i really looked aweful with the stock grille.
I'm going to get some inserts for mine as well.
