The stock grille painted blue might look cool but it also might make it look too plain

The best way to go with the grill is to go with no grill and have a shop mold the holes and repaint it. Hands down looks the best oh and then some chrome mesh behind the grill holes. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

i'm planning on putting a retro z/28 emblem on my billet grill. so i would do the ss too. but then there's a couple of companies who have this done to their grills already . so you wouldn't have to get it done. doesn't SLP have these already? i'm not sure how different a retro ss emblem is to current ones.

Some pics are old before I dumped the front plate and had the holes filled, some are without inlays, and some with.
Good luck
