Thanks guys I actually ordered the black grille but they sent me a chrome one? But oh well the chrome is kinda growing on me. Also I recently finished up with my berger panel mod went with satin black. Anyone have any ideas for it? I did order some stainless steel inserts for it, but I was thinking maybe the 69 style Chevrolet emblem as well. What do you guys think?

Thanks guys, DaRReLL to be honest with you I love the looks of the lights but these headlamps paired with hid's, isn't the best in the world. The cutoff isn't very good, but the headlights themselves seem to be well made considering they're probably made in China. I did however have to mod them with a 3/4 plastic spacer via a thread I found on this site; to make them fit flush with the bumper.

I would have returned the grille if I ordered black and got chrome. Black looks way better IMO and chrome just reminds me of trucks and SUVs. I would also remove the emblem as that old style just doesn't flow very well with the lines of the car IMO. As for the berger panel, I would stay away from another old school emblem and just do the emblem pros inserts. I used those on my Camaro and they look great, and are excellent quality.
The headlights look good when one can't see the mess of plastic ridges and LEDs on the outer section. They would look so much better if the housing was smooth like stock with no LEDs, and if the projector was pushed a little more toward the outer section of the housing. At least you'll have better lighting than the stockers, can't go wrong with that.
Some clear corners would be a nice upgrade to go along with the new grille and lights.
Also, looking at the pic I can't see any foglights, if in fact you don't have any on the car, put some on for sure. There's my .02 cent

Ls1CamaroGuy87, oh trust me if I could I would just rip that dang led strip out of the headlights they are uglier than a fat women in a two piece 
, of course they're not hooked up . But my Dad bought me the grille and headlights for Christmas so I'm not about to send it back. Oh and the car is a stripper so didn't have fogs from the factory. I would like to get some though, are the factory wires there to wire up factory fogs? I haven't even looked.

Not a fan of the emblem but halo headlights and billet grille are sexy. Now you need a cool hood.
I liked these fogs on my old SS:
