Default Before and After pics of Grille

Just installed a SLP SS grille on my `01 SS. Im not 100% i wana keep it... I don't know... I guess i just got too use to the stock grille.... (not that i would go back to it)... Don't get me wrong.. I like it... But i might go for a differnt look.... Maybe i just need to get used to it

What do you guys think? Look hot?

I think it looks badass, especially the black on black. It looks a lot meaner than before.

Im gettin the black/silver one for my pewter car. I think the stock grille just doesnt flow. The SS grille, Wings West and Billet grille (if setup right) look much cleaner.

stock Camaro grilles are horrible. What an afterthought in the design department on Chevy's part. Especially since they had a nice smooth CAMARO underneath them.

I love that grille. I wanna put it on my car really bad, and get rid of the ugly, dull, stock one. Definately keep it on there, and if you ever decide to put some wheels on your car, you will be very happy you went with that grille.
