As much as I agree that the grille should match the wheels, I'm actually planning to do a black billet grille and chrome ZR1s.

I really think it can go either way and look just fine.

I was thinking of doing a black grill with the a black manta stripe on the hood. Never thought of matching the wheels though. It would have to match the screen in the SS hood on said cars though too (for me anyway). I think they both look cool, might have to buy them both and change the look up every now and again.

installing it... pull the old one off, put the billet in place, mark where you need to drill (there are 4 holes), drill the holes, put the screws in, youre done!

i personally would say black billet WITHOUT PAINTING THE BACK PIECE BLACK. when the back piece is black, the billet grill just looks like a black blob. it looks cool at night also, because you see the pewter underneath it.
