Default Which grille should I get?

I have a 2000 Camaro SS Red T-top. Below I will have pictures of my car. Well right now I have a red rksport grill that I'm either thinking of keeping, painting it black or getting another grille. If painted black, I can help it painted for $50. If replacing then I can probably sell this grill for about $100- $150. Help me out on this decision guys, thanks!

I've really been digging the Stull black billet grills with a '69 bowtie lately. I'm going to switch to that after thinking about it all winter.lol. Whatever you do, I would do it in black. I think it would break up the car and flow better. And not that your looking for anyother advice but, have you considerd just a black manta stripe on the hood instead of what you have?

wow so many choices, for sure I want to get a black grille. Now just need to find a place or someone selling one. The SLP grill is tight, so I'm leaning more towards that one. I'll just wait a little longer so see what others think

Thanks, and keeping my grill will save me money. Maybe I should just place a black/red ss emblem in the middle.

The stripe on your hood looks incomplete (it dead ends into the bumper cover). Maybe try extending it down and put a red outlined SS in the middle of the grille. Just a thought. I may try whipping this up in Photoshop later.
