I know what you are talking about. Making the grille land bumper look like one piece instead of two different parts by filling in the gap and smoothing it out. No, I have never seen one like that, but its a good idea.

What could be used as filler to mold in the grille? Wouldn't body filler just crack from all the vibration?

i wouldnt put an insert in there and put filler around it

you should just take your insert out (see above pic) fill in "camaro" with bondo so its flat and then put mesh behind it
