I'm in the same boat as you. I hate the crappy flat black POS that's on there. I really want the SLP SS grille with silver SS badges. The price of them is a little steep and I cringe at spending that much on it. The wings west grille is nice too actually.

Keep the stock grille, but have it painted to match the color of the car. That would look great....kind of like this......

sand it down a lot to get rid of all the plastic texture, it takes a while to get it nice and smooth

The SLP SS grille looks sooo much better. GM should have put these on from the factory, but that would have been too expensive. Look around on ebay, I got mine for $125, and it was barely used.
