I like the black billet grille or the SLP bowtie grille.....either one of those would look better IMO.

Plus the(im drawing a huge blank on the name) mod where you make the headlights smoked/darker would really complete the darker look up front.

I'll be painting my billet grille black when I get tired of the polished edge.

* Stock Headlights with Whislter Mod

* Clear corners with VHT (light come out red with amber bulbs???looks cool, but it won't pass inspection)

IMO, the whistler mod only looks good with smoked corners or factory corners. I don't think it flows well with clear corners.

i'm personally going with a powdercoated black billet grille w/ '69 chevelle bowtie logo, clear corners in black housing and either black halos or black whistler. i'm not sure whether or not i like the halos.

Thanks alot bro! They are Euro clear with the regular housing I hope my car pic helped you decide. I think your set up will look great also!! If I had kept my previous B4C Camaro which is in the background of my SS pic I would of had a billet grill on that also.
