Default SLP Bowtie Grille vs. Stull Billet and Blue Bowtie Grille

I currently have the SLP bowtie grill on a silver z28 but really like the look of the stull grille with the bowtie off a chevelle. Which one is better looking?
Also, the billet grille comes in three different finishes: brushed aluminum, polished aluminum, and black billet. What would look best on a silver car? I'm leaning towards the black one with the blue emblem. I don't want to paint behind the grille black though - not sure if that really makes a difference though. thoughts?

here is the slp grille I currently have:

this is what the new one looks like:

just trying to get some opinions....thanks!

I like the SLP grille better than any of the billet grilles, but if you do go the billet route, I think black looks the sharpest.

I have the SLP bowtie grille on my 01 Z/28 my Stull black billet grille arrived today and my 69 chevelle blue bowtie should be here mid next week So I will post some photos IMHO your best combo is the black billet grille and either the silver bowtie they offer the the 69 chevelle or the blue one.

If you decide to go with the billet grille, I will certainly take the SLP grille off your hands. Just let me know.

Where can you purchase the blue '69 chevelle bowtie emblem from? And is this the same blue bowtie emblem as the '69 camaro? I have a blue '69 camaro emblem i have not tried to attach to my rk sport billet grill and wanted to know if i purchased the wrong combo before I do anything with it.
Thanks!

You can buy the 69 blue bowtie from Classic Industries. That's where I got my 69 SS emblem, you may have to flatten the bowtie out more to fit the contour of the grille. I had to do it to my emblem, but be EXTREMELY CAREFUL when you bend it because it is fragile and it will break! I just lightly heated mine with a propane torch and slowly bent until it was right. Good Luck
