Default Camaro Grill on Trans Am
Did this last year to spruce up the hole for the intercooler. Bought a camaro grill and cut to fit. I thought it turned out pretty decent.

Yea, not bad. Though I'd paint the hood grills black to match.

Unique. Painting your new grille and the hood scoop grilles black would look much better IMO..

Leave a hole or recess the grill.
Having it flush looks cheap.

I would say either paint it blue to match the theme of the car, or leave the hole for the intercooler exposed.

Different and thinking outside the box. Maybe recess it like mentioned above would look better, not bad though.

Looks pretty decent, but kind of hard to accept on a 30th Anniversary car. Understand the need for cold air though.

Don't want to show the inter cooler off. The 4in exhaust out of the front bumper is bad enough hahahaha.

Think a recessed mesh would look a little better but painting the grill and the hood vents black would look a lot better than current.
