Default WW grill installed, looks like it needs something more...

i got my wings west grill installed today, and i like it, but i think it looks a tad plain by itself, im thinking of adding a decal to it, nothing major just something to make it look a little less "plain". where can i get some black "CAMARO" or "Z28" decals to put on there?

I think it would look fine if you ditched the strips. They don't seem to flow cleanly with the car, maybe it's just me.

Grill looks good, but a black vinyl chevy bowtie or something in the middle would look decent if you kept the stripes.

i thought about losing the stripes also, but then id have to get an SS hood or something similar, because then the front would look a bit too plain for my taste

in my opinion, i would lose the stipes also, they look huge on the car. but as far as the grill, it looks clean. if you want to put something on it maybe a black chevy bowtie?

the ss hood would be a good idea...

yeah im with al of them dich the stripes, it makes the car look out of place. It would also get a bowtie and put it on that grill, try and find one that comes stock on the front of a 93-97 camaro because its a nice size and it has that bend in the center of it that would flush right up with the grille

Another vote for losing the stripes. Stripes aren't bad, but those particular stripes do not match the car very well. Too wide, and they don't have the bordering line around them like the classic Camaro stripes.

Grille looks clean! A black bowtie in the middle would be a nice touch.

If you narrowed those stripes about an inch, and continued them down the bumper, that would look good in my opinion!

thanks for all the opinions . i do agree with you guys about the stripes being too wide, they were on there when i bought the car so i had no choice. im thinking of just taking them off and adding an SS hood, that should look pretty good .

EDIT: anyone know where i can get a black chevy bowtie decal for the front? i tried ebay but couldnt find anything the right size.

SS hood or a small cowl would look nice with that grill. don't go to big, i think a 4" cowl like mine wouldn't look as good with that grill..which is why i don't have a grill on my car

that 3"( i think) raised SS hood i believe by VFN would look nice,too

Loose stripes..

Replace hood (SS or SLP hood?)

bowtie to center of WW grill -- I had an SS hand painted on my old one and then XPEL covered to protect it..

Either have it painted on, or just go to your local graphics shop and have them printed out. It will probably cost like 6 bucks.
