Default Damn! Almost cool... Removed grill....

I finally decieded to remove my factory black plastic grill. Its pretty cool except the damn dealership put loooong *** bolts on the license plate frame, they went straight thru to the painted grill. I think Im gonna get some plastic filler and use some touch up paint on it. I like the look, Im sooo ready for a change, Ive had this car forever!

No doubt the factory grill sucks, but no grill is worse. Id get a black billet or SLP

Ahh, Im sooo allergic to billets. Im gonna fill the slots that the grill fastened in, and find some material that matches the inside off my SS scoop (still in box) for each side. Thanks for the suggestions tho. How bout those long bolts? LOL

You also need to take care of your headlights, they look pretty hazed, nice looking car.

I'd get a chrome billet grill. It's also a lot easier taking the skrews out of your bumper than having to actually put them in.. Trust me on that one. I had to drill the holes in mine because I bought it out of state, and the state I bought it from didnt require front liscense plates, and in NY, where I live, they do. Nothing like drilling a hole in your bumper to put a ugly plate there! Also, If you did get the SS hood that you were talking about, you could put a chrme billet insert in there to match. Hope your bumper turns out looking very nice and you like the outcome.
