Default Recommend a grille for my car...

See attached pic.

I'm either looking for a full grille or some inserts that cover up the absorber.

Thanks!

A friend of mine has a 2000 Z28 Monterey Maroon , he installed a polished billet aluminum grill...looks very good. Black billet would look good as well.

Wings west is the only way to go, if you can find one. I heard they went under. I have pics of mine on my site.

The RKSport unit is similar, but its got their logo on the front and that turns a lot of people off.

Ive got the SLP SS grille (similar to the bowtie, except it says SS instead of having a bowtie). I havent installed it yet, but its an awesome piece. Its going to look great once its put on.

This is one of my favorites. You can also get one thats not c/f and paint it to match the car or you wheel color would be different.

I say leave it as is and get those holes filled in.

I am trying to picture all the different grilles on your car and I dont like any of them. Personally I say just leave the grille off and fill in those holes.

I was thinking the same thing actually BUT seeing the bumper absorber is driving me NUTS! I haven't been able to find any type of billet material to fill it. I'm also not handy nor creative so it'd have to be something specifically for filling in those holes.

What do you suggest as far as filling in the holes where the stock grille mounted?
