Question Front grilles for maros?

Besides the SLP front grille, where else can I get one? different looks? got pics? where did you get yours and what did you do to it to make it badass and different from others?

Most of our sponsors carry a bunch of different ones. There is the Wing West grilles, billet grilles, carbon fiber grilles, Mesh grilles, and you can take the stock one off and fill in the holes. That looks really good as well. Just visit our sponsors to the right ---------->

good luck with that. There are a few things

Billet grilles are very popular, because you can mount emblems to them, and they look very clean, but look like crap with a license plate.

A lot of people just take off the grille entirely, which makes it look a little meaner, but i honestly think it looks kind of half-assed, no offense.

The grille i'm going for will probably be billet or i'll just leave the stock one and paint it. painting the stock grille can look pretty good on a red or blue car.

lol those aftermarket grilles are exorbinate. When you have to wonder whether to get headers or a grille, it's overpriced.

I did this to my billet grille. I live in California so for me it was a must. Might have ruined the grille a bit but at least I think it looks better then before. I just should have taken my time when cutting the middle part of the grille. But it turned out ok, something differnt.

Just rip the stock grill off and have the holes filled in. That looks the best imo.

They actually look better in person. I used my brothers sony camara and it don't take too good pictures. They are very flashy, made me pick up some 35th SS rims, because now my stock rims just don't flow good with the chrome halos.

Oh....the thing I like about a White Camaro is you can choose to go with the dark, edgy look of the effective black/white combo, or clear and clean like you and others have done with the clear corners and what not.
