Have you ever priced on how much it'll cost to get the grill painted to match your car?

No idea. Figured I'd have them paint the grill and touch up the bumper at the same time.

Car looks great!

Not trying to be picky, just trying to help - I would adjust your hood latch 1/8" lower and/or lower the rubber hood stops to clean up that small hood gap at the fender and front end. Will clean up an already clean looking car

Agreed! I definitely have time to do it before spring.
And hey, I'd say 99% of the people on Tech always have some sort of comment to say when it comes to someone else's car lol.

Yeah it's a tough crowd for sure, just thought I'd mention it to try and help. Car does look great either way!

Car looks great, man. As these cars age, its crazy how the small things make a car nice again. Could you PM me the seller name of those headlights? A buddy of mine needs some on his Camaro.

I would rather see the grill painted satin black than body color...makes it look more open and modern IMO

Looks good! New headlights definitely wake up the front end.

The rksport grille looks good, but too similar to just going grille-less and filing/smoothing over the "camaro" letters and the holes left behind from the factory grill.. Cheaper and easier to do that since you'll already he repainting the bumper anyways.

I would, it made a big difference I thought. Even tho I did the turn signals first before the headlights, it still looked much better. Just look for the depo brand with the chrome reflector in the back. They're normally on amazon or eBay unless a sponsor carries them now but I don't think so.
