The SLP grill looks ugly when painted body collor, I think the Wings west type grills are the only ones that look good body collor.

Heres my old SS with the Wings west and my own paint scheme...

I will eat my words about my comment on the body collored SLP grill looking bad, your car is the first/only exeption I have seen though.

I tried that before I bought the Wings west grill, the factory opening looked too big and gaudy looking to me. I was never crazy about the styling of the front of the fourth gen Camaros, no matter what I did I was never happy with it. I allways got a lot of complements on the Wings west grill so I decided to stick with it.

I ended up selling the Camaro and buying a TA, they look great right out of the box.
