Default Removed stock "CAMARO" Grille... now what?

don't really have anything to put there yet, and I put my license plate down on the air dam... looks better, but now, theres a gaping dirty maw... and I've got a nice visual of that damned compressed styrofoam **** back there...

whats the best price on a black billet grille? anybody have any good links or anything?

in the mood to play more with the car, AIR system removal comes next week (or this thursday if I decide to get it inspected thursday haha)

I want the SLP bowtie grille but it is goddamn expensive... the billet grilles just do nothing for me. A stock grille painted probably wouldn't look too bad...

what i did was get some of the duplicolor spray paint that i used for the whistler mod and spray painted the foam and it looks really good. Next you need to fill in the holes and maybe get some stainless inserts from ebay(muffinbuster)

i used the gentle yank it method... no pics yet, no camera, and its dirty as hell anyway

i actually ended up just tossing the grille, it pissed me off.

texas law states it just has to be visible from the front, whether it be 50 feet away or kneeling 2 feet in front of the car, it doesn't matter, as long as its visible

lot of guys down here are getting away with it, so I'm not worried about it, I can see its down there :o
