Default Pics of front end

Here's a pic with the nose emblem shaved (yeah, that body line is a little flat but you normally can't tell), clear corners, and the "euro" headlights with the black housing. Any opinions? I like it but I'm not sure what anyone else thinks...

instead of shaving that emblem, why didnt you fill in the holes from the grill?

I think the car would look better with the mose emblem still there, and the grill holes filled. Other than that the car looks good.

Yeah, I'm eventually gonna make a grille similar to the billet ones but that looks more like the old black egg-crate grilles.

Looks like you have a dent in the nose of your car now. It would look good if it was done more accurately though. Also like everyone else said, if you were going through the trouble of filling that hole why not fill the grille holes while youre at it, I mean you even shaved the camaro lettering. Just seems really odd.

Yeah, and it was an aftermarket bumper so the shape of the nose was a little messed up (the flatter spot) and they don't have the camaro lettering

I plan on cutting that primered section later for a turbo setup. Black billet grille with A2A intercooler behind that. So I didn't waste any time on the grille holes. Later on I'll get that VFN hood with the line all the way through.

The billet grille does NOT mount into the stock holes, so know what youre talking about before you jump on someone.
