Default New grille installed....opinions

Finally broke down and spent the cash for a new grill. Next on my list is lowering my baby, shortly thereafter, wheels and then who knows.

Just peel off the bowtie and order the SS emblem, that's the only difference between the two if I'm not mistaken.

Thanks, I picked up the Emblem off eBay from a seller named muffinbuster. Just do a search and if he doesn't have it listed, just send him a question about it and he'll hook you up. It was under $30, can't remember how much exactly.

I am affraid to take the side moldings off due to the fact that my car has been repainted to repair accident I was in about 6 months ago. I have a feeling there will be a noticeable color difference.
