Default Should I black out my grill?
Debating what will look better. Only plans other than whats on the car now for exterior mods is a Glasstek 4 inch cowl and weld prostars 15x3.5s and 15x8s. Just wondering if the stainless steel sticks out too much and black would help blend it in and go with the blacked out theme.

Whatcha guys/gals think?

I think that looks alot better. That grill imho just looks terrible when it's chrome, mainly because you can see the factory camaro hump behind it. Blacked out it's a much needed improvement with that grill. Good job.

Someone on here with an LT1 used VHT niteshades on his headlights, not much but just enough to darken them a tad. May look good on the black car to stealth them a little bit.

Sure. 2nd pic is a bit overexposed so it is hard to get it to look quite right. First one is better.
