Came out nice but I would honestly worry about changing your wheels before worrying about the grill. There's the wings west, billet, and slp grills to choose from. If I were you, I'd just take off the stock one. It would look killer with the whistler mod

Stay away from the Catfish slp grill. LOL! Wings West or billet FTW!
Edit: and the headlights look great!

I'm getting the cheaper mods out of the way before I lower the car and get wheels (thinking black c5 zo6 or zr1s) I just looked up a black billet grill, think that will be the route I go. Once I pay my credit card off I'll be getting the ss hood and wing or the wheels and springs.

here are some options for a grill.
first is a ebay billet grill with a 69 camaro emblem.
second is my old stock grill painted gloss black with stainless inserts.

Yes, I don't need the fogs on anymore. So glad I did this to the headlights.
I ordered the black grill friday night.

Next up will be the berger panel.

This is the end result.
I know a lot of people don't like the GS stripes, but the car looks so plain with the stock hood, so I feel I needed to add something.
I ordered a black billet grill, how do they mount? Do I have to drill holes like the SLP Grill? Anyway, I'm pretty happy with how it looks,
