Default what grille??? cant decide
trying to decide which grille to go with... my car currently has the slp style grille with chevy bowtie... but has like a rock chip and black is coming off.. and i also have a wings west grille painted pewter to match my car... if i install it i would like to paint it black first, i think...lol cant really decide which would look better what i have, pewter w.w. grille, or black w.w. grille.... just wanting opinions... i asked my wife and just as always if it deals with my car she just ignores me...lol

Repaint the SLP black or use the pewter ww grill. Or it might be interesting to spray the SLP grill pewter.
