J00 can get the factory SS emblem's from SLP, they're cheaper than the dealers.

The grille is from RKSport and the emblem is from Year 1. It's a 68 camaro front emblem. The plasic grill needs to be removed to install the billet grille.

What brand of grille was used on the Berger Camaros? That grilled looks like it installs over the stock plastic grille.

I have the outer lights disabled until I mount a switch for 'em. Good luck finding a Wings West Grill, they're discontinued. However, This should get your interest. I was going to do what sixvi6 did but, I don't want to give up the grill! Enjoy!

Using Catz SR series lights roughly 5.5" diamater and under 3" thick. I used Gold irridum driving lights picked up on ebay for $45 (reg price is over $150). Ohh and there are 3 beam choices and several bulb and lense color choices. gold iridium bulbs, HID style bulbs, yellow lenses, fog, driving or spot lights.. blah... blah.. I had to make a custom bent bracket for each light and did trim a little of the styrefoam(sp?) and a corner of the bumper cover that was against the light. With the bit of triming there was a 1/4" or so gap around the entire light. Its a tight fit though!

First pic with No grille


Next with the grille in place


Third lights on with the grille


just figured I'd share since I've not seen any camaros with a large diamater fog light setup and I was told it could not be done because there was not enough space for anyhitng other than small lights. I'll get some pics tonight with the lights on.

I'm not sure what brand came on the Berger's. I removed the plastic grille and painted semi gloss black behind the billet grille.

wow, i really love that look with the big round lights in the grill! here is my simple grill. !stock-crappy-plastic-insert and put in some gutter mesh that I painted white. i used paper clips that I cut and bent into U-shape and stuck into the styrofoam backing so the mesh doesn't move.

Sorry to ask so many questions, I'm just now starting into modifying my car to my tastes. Hey, what are these boards for anyway??

My question is, if I wanted a "SS" badge for the stull grille, is the 1969 Camaro RS/SS the correct badge? Also, I wanted to make a smooth Berger panel and also install an old SS badge on that as well. Any ideas what badge to use there? It can't be flat.

Thanks again!

I used one from the 67/68 model year camaro RS/SS. You can check the rear badges from late 60's Chevelle's and Camaro's for the one you like the best.
Hope this helps.

Just wanted to point out that you guys are using the RS/SS emblem, the SS emblem for a non RS optioned car will have a more pronounced V to it due to the different grill. So for you guys that are looking into doing a billet grill with the SS emblem be sure to get one for an RS optioned car.
