slp grill..leave as is or go back to black
 
just wanted to get some opinions...my grill needs to be repainted anyway so i was thinking about getting it painted back to black because sometimes the way my grill is painted looks kinda odd to me. here are some pics

Either way looks good man.

Yea either way dude

I like the black better (but not by much lol). For me i like it when at some angles, you can only see the "SS" badging, like you would say in a shadowing type of situation. Although, the way it is now, thats a unique look i must say and not in a bad way either.

What if you painted it back to black but left the middle bar white. That way the screws wouldn't show and plus it would be another way of ROCKING your grill.

or paint it all white and do the back black and the middle bar. photoshop time

Here's how I did mine...never seen one done like this, so that's why I did it. I'm happy with how it turned out. I think all black w/ the cross bar white would be nice.

I think if you went back to the all the black grille you would want more black on the car... headlights, wheels, tint, etc. With all those non-black items like you have the grille looks good the way you have it.

I like the white, it's different.

Ls1CamaroGuy87 07-18-2011 04:18 PM

All white would look great IMO

Large grill openings are a common theme on aggressive modern cars, with yours painted white it makes the car look more dated like a lt1 car.

The black makes the grill look bigger and more open and keeps the car looking fresh even though it's older.

looks really good as it sits now imho.

ZexGX 07-18-2011 06:29 PM

Love how it looks right now. Right now it looks like a car. Before, it looked like every other catfish in the river. Oh, wait...

I like it white, its different, but you cant go wrong either way.

BoricuaHec01 07-19-2011 10:12 AM

With white, looks kinda plain, would go all black imo.

ZeeSNuttS 07-19-2011 10:44 AM

WIN WIN no matter what you do.

demonspeed 07-19-2011 10:47 AM

I'd worry more about cleaning up your headlights :)

+1 This makes a lot of sense.

I'd say if you leave it black, you need some more black on the front, like whistler mod.
