Default WS6 Hood Inserts?

What are my options here? I've seen a few of them and I'm sure the sponsors carry them, but which ones? TIA.

I'm looking for the billet bar style too. Think I may know of a place that may be able to make them but I'm not sure how much it would run. I do know that we would have to send them our insert so they could design them. I'll look for the # and the www and post it later.

Check this link out. They sell the hood and side grills in billet alluminum. Look under the camaro/firebird section.

Ok here is the #, they aren't sponsers so this may get removed. If it does just PM me and I'll give you the address. I found this comany in one of my truck mags. They say that they can make a custom billet or stainless steel grille for almost any car. I haven't talked to the company because I have had some cash flow probs lately.

AIM industries- 1800-289-9980

If anyone calls and finds out a price or get the grille post a reply to let us know what you think.

Or for 100 bucks Pauls Chrome (not a sponsor but can be found at paulschrome.com) will chrome plate the plastic pieces. Estimate was 50-60 per piece if you want to include the sides.

Cool let me know how they look and post pics. I have been wanting to do this for my TA but I have been working on my project car so I haven't had any spare cash to spend.
