Red face yay or nay painted my grill!

hey guys i repainted my grill from gloss black to body color because i hit a posum on the hwy and it messed up the paint so just for the hell of it i painted it body color just to see how it would look.

i probly will repaint it black or i might get a slp bowtie grill or the rk sport grill and paint it black.

like i said this was just for the hell of it so give my your honest opinions!
oh and sorry for the wierd pic lol i had to cut it up a lot to get it to upload on here.

Yay keep it

Just fill in the letters with black to give it some contrast.... just don't repaint it black. if you must have a black grille then get a billet or slp...

I like, but then you have the "berger panel", and it looks funky together. They clash, but in reality your never going to see the rear end and the front at the same time.

I don't know if anyone has ever done this before, or even how it would look, but...
What about leaving the body color, then filling in CAMARO in black. Then, where the holes are on each side, paint the thingys going across them black as well, fading into the body color...hard to explain really!

Sorry for mumbling my idea, but I would like to see it if anyone understood what I meant!

i have a set of the black inserts for the grill if i keep it that way.
like bada$$ said i was thinking of 2 toneing it like painting the center black and leaving the sides body color or switch it around and paint the sides black but i really dont know how it would look and i havent seen any thing like that before.
every one has the bowtie grill and i want to have some thing a little different.
i got some thinking to do lol.
thanks for the comments guys and keep em coming!

i think it looks pretty good, my roommate has one on his black SS painted to match with red inserts definitely sets it apart.

i was thinking the same thing. paint the cross bars black, maybe even extend it across. black inserts. even black just outside of the grill where the bumper molds in. i always wanted to do it to mine.
