I think you should buy the slp grille and paint the same color scheme on it

i agree for the no grill, shows even more of the color off, but you need to fill in those holes. That is going to be a kick *** looking car

The color is awesome! When your done with yours are you gonna come here and paint mine the same color? But yea I think a SLP grille would look really good if you paint it like Tony had his.. But its hard to tell about the billet.. But it does look better without it if you would fill the holes in..

I'd like it with a black billet grille, maybe. Something black. It looks like it still has the mounting holes for the stock grille (unless the lighting is playing tricks on me). For me, if you spent the time and money to paint it up real nice like that, it would bug me if it had them on mine like that.

That's just my .02, though, the paint looks REAL nice. I'm jealous, lol.

By the way what is the name of that color? It looks like that paint they used on "Project Copperhead" on that show Trucks.

I actually like the billet grill on that car. Get you a retro emblem and paint it to match the center the car color and the outter trim the stripe color

HoK Kandy Tangerine?!?
I love that color! It's amazing how you get such a different shade of color in the sunshine compared to the shade. The sun really brings out the color!
Silver base here, ...

On that color I would probably keep the grille but have it black instead of chrome. I think the chrome works good with the orange, but because of the silver stripes I think it somewhat clashes with the chrome. But thats just me
