eww, sorry but there is just not enough space between the horizontal bars. I would stronly recomend getting a regular style billet grille with about only 9 bars like most ppl have on here, it looks way better. IMO

Hmmm, I like it, but there needs to be a little more spacing on those bars.

I like that grille. It looks a little more subtle than the other grilles. Looks almost as it was a stock option. I have one of the grilles with the thicker bars and I like it on my car, but that looks great on your car, and I think it would look great on mine as well.

Where'd you get it from? Any pictures from a distance, maybe 10 feet?

it is a ss fender emblem from a 70 chevelle it has 2 pegs coming off the back of each letter and then it comes with these self threading nuts to go on the back. put it through the grille bars and use the nuts to hold them on.

I think it looks very good. And I thank you for getting it painted black. The usual silver/polished billet grills are plain gross.

i think it looks fine, it sets your car apart from the other billet grills i've seen. I like the old school SS badges too. get some black halo's and the front end will all match up.

it looks ok.. it would probably look better from more than 1 foot away from the car though.
