Black on the grille, but I have agree with an eariler post. There is alot going on and no direction with the ride. The red hockey stripes just don't do it for that car. Before you start to put more stuff on it, you might want to take some time and really think about how you want your car to look and how you want it to come off to people. Right now, the car looks confused. No offense, just being honest in what I see.

None taken. I've always had mixed reviews about the stripes and truthfully I had been thinking of removing them and maybe going with the manta in a charcoal or some shade of grey. Again, Thanks to all for the opinions and constructive criticism. I'm open to anymore.

I think the polished looks better... The black just kinda dissapears..

But you need to get some rims to go with the polished grille..

I probably won't be changing the wheels out for a while. The grille should stand out a little better once a bowtie or maybe some new style "Montepala" SS badges like the ones on the car now. (The bigger one)

Anyways... Are you ready for the nekked pics?
Here you go -



and



I forgot how it looked all black.

The SS badges are '06 Monte Carlo/Impala SS. There are two sizes and the badges on my car are the smaller size. They were just over 9 bucks apiece. The Hurst badges I bought at the Turkey Rod run in Daytona this past Thanksgiving.
