Billet or SLP grille??

So im trying to decide on which grille i want to go with for the car. I would love to get the 35LE SLP grille for my SS but i cant seem to find it avialable anywhere. So im looking at my other options, which are...

SLP SS grille (red or silver outlined ss emblems?)
Billet Grille

Here's a pic of the car now, i just removed the stock plastic black grille and mounted the license plate on the bumper.

^^^go with that. the billet grilles look good on lt1 camaros because the grille area is small. the ls1 is just too big to have a billet grille. too much metal.

Why not do the SLP grille that has the stripes? Try looking around more or on 35thLE.com they should know where to find one I would think. That looks the best on there. If not that do the SLP grille.

Thanks for the website, i completely forgot all about it. Ill check on there and yeaa i have to agree with you guy's now. The SLP grille looks to be the better choice if i cant find the 35th LE grille.

hard to decide but either way which ever one you do get they both look good.but for the billet one you will have to get it in black if you put chrome it'll look dumb..

also get the old style "SS" emblem for the front of the billet grille

I say billet grille

That black billet grille looks nice on there.

If i decide to go with the SLP grille, which is the one im leaning to alot more now. What color for the outlined emblem?? Red or Silver??

You really couldn't go wrong with red or silver. I would just say silver because the stripes and everything, but with a red and silver car you could go either way.
