Default Done with my front end......

I added a billet grill, clear corners and a 69 Chevelle SS Emblem to the SS, now all it needs is rims and a drop and I will be done with the appearance of this car. Here are some before and after shots....

Before....



After....







Only problem I ran into was i had to drill two holes in the bumper to make the grill emblem fit, overall I am happy with how it looks.

At first I didn't care for billet grilles on Camaros. They are definitely growing on me. I like it. I think without emblems, the grilles look too plain.

I was the same way, and your right, it looks ALOT better with the SS emblem on it. I did not feel like shelling out 200+ for the SLP grills, this set-up cost me roughly 70 bucks. My only delima now is what to do about the fender and rear emblems. SHould i try and match them to the grill or just leave them? I also have been debating those chome SS emblems they sell on ebay, but I have no examples to look at.
