Default SS or Bowtie Billet Grille?

Which should I get for my NBM SS? It will be a black billet grille with either a blue bowtie, or the SS emblem.
Thanks

pics courtesy of 6LEdesigns website- pure perfection.

This should be all you need to decide....






Honestly, if your car was pretty much any other color than NBM i would say go with the SS badge. but this color with the blue bowtie goes together perfectly.

yes they do. the grill doesnt come with the emblems.

all it is its a billet grill and then a few people either leave it the way it is or they add a bowtie. ss or z28 emble.

i believe the z28 emblem that I have seen being use are the ones from the 68-69 z28s

That SS emblem is SUPPOSED to be upside down. SS grille FTW!

Whichever you decide, I say you buy the grille itself now while I'm selling them UNDER cost to get some cash flow going...
