I think DG motorsports also makes those style grills for the camaro in carbon fiber or paintable versions. Maybe give them a try...

Thanks, Lmp sending 2nd one out this week, hoping it fits as advertised. Meanwhile I've been finagling with this one a bit more & it seems to get better the more I mess with it......starting to wonder if this is an aftermarket nose...... either way ill have one for sale if anyone wants it!

I've always liked that style grille. Gives one the chance to kinda do with it what they want as far as emblems and stuff.

Why spend all that money? I took $2 worth of gutter guard mesh from home depot and cut it to fill in the two big air holes. Same effect, no hassle.

Nope. I have a fugly *** front license plate covering the ugly grill mounting holes. I'd fill them and paint them, but I used them to mount the plate.

Yup. Without it, it's an $80 fine everytime. And the cops around here don't appreciate any of the "alternate" locations.(i.e. air damn, window, passenger sun visor, etc..)

Any aftermarket bumper cover I've seen hasn't said "camaro". If this is on the front it should be an OE bumper

No camaro on bumper, pretty sure its aftermarket. Probably jumped the gun a bit with post, but wasn't happy at the time as these grills are $150
