Default New SLP SS Grille
A couple of weeks ago a bitch backed into my SS billet grille and tried to pull out of the parking lot. Long story short, her insurance gave me $229 for my billet grille and I added a little with it for the SLP grille from Summit Racing. Here's some pics. You guys think I traded up?

Yup, I think the SLP grille looks more OEM.

I appreciate it guys. The SLP emblem in the hood grille is just my thing. Nobody else does it around here and I had the same thing on my 02 SS five years ago. Thanks again.

I think it looks better man. But I might also be biased. They both look good, certainly better than the stocker.
