Default mesh grilles

I'm thinking about buying one of these grilles but i'm not sure which one yet. I wanted your all's opinion on which one looks better. The first one is more of a diamond shaped mesh and the second is circular. Also, if you guys know of another place where I could find a mesh grille it'd be appreciated.

Also, if anyone has more pics of camaro's with this kind of grille, that'd be great. Trying to get an idea of what it'll look like. I've got a pewter SS with the hood grille painted chrome so I think it'll "mesh" well with the new grill. (pun intended).

I know what you mean. You could buy the mesh and cut it to form though.
