All silver with a black bowtie. The one with black in the middle looks out of place.

I'm thinking that I don't want a ton of black on the front end since I have clear corners, stock headlights, and no manta. The back of the car is the blacked out part.

So, right as of, since I haven't seen anyone with it, I'm thinking all solver with the bar going across the grille black. That way it's not all silver and the black can break it up slightly.
it looks ok but i still think the all black SLP grille looks better . . . but then again i'm biased lol

You've got quite a bit more black then my car does. Lol. If I had stripes or manta I think more black would look better, but since there's no black on the front of my car other than the hood scoop grille I think all black would be too much.

Like I said. I think all silver with the cross bar black. That'll break the silver up a lift but still keep the clean silver look on the front. I'm still waiting on the chops from my friend.

I like the all silver or black silver. Not feeling the crossbar really.

All black would be fine if you had more black accents

I've decided to be original and go with all silver and leave the cross bar black. If I don't like it I'll have them spray the cross bar silver.

That's how my step-dad's is on his 35th ^^^^

They don't make those anymore, but that doesn't really apply to my silver SS now does it? Lol. Red would look pretty hideous on the silver...
