Default Tinted windows/Black stull grille installed

Well here are three pictures of my car (dirty). I had the windows tinted and installed the grille this morning. I didn't paint behind it (yet) since I wanted to see what it looked like with the white behind the grille.

Any comments/suggestions shoot them my way. Thanks

You should definitely paint the area behind the grill!

Did you remove the styrofoam reinforcement behind the bumper cover when you removed it?

Definitely paint it black back there. Or it's just what I'd do. Looks great though, where'd you get the grille from?

The grille is from Afterthoughts Auto. It is the stull billet grille with the black powdercoat option. It took about a week and a half to get to me since they had to get it powdercoated. The quality of the coating is great, and the grille looks awesome. I would highly recommend it.

I was either gonna de-badge the car of Z28 emblems and put the SS on the front grille......OR......leave the Z28 badges and put the blue bowtie on the grille.

If it's a z28 I wouldn't put the SS badges on unless you do a complete clone with the spoiler and hood, and then if it came down to it tell people it's an SS clone and not an actual SS, but that's just my opinion.
