Default Keep current grille or do something else?

It has now got black halos and black(inside) clear parking lights.
I got a new bumper because the old one was torn pretty bad. on the old one I had the holes filled in and painted with a bowtie from a 97 camaro on the front. Should I stay with that or any suggestions?? I am thinking about something different but I kinda like it the way it is. What do you guys think?

The filled holes always look better than factory, but I think a black billet would look really good with the lights.

car looks good regardless!

Looks very nice and clean... Im looking to get my grill painted and filled in too!

the only thing i would say about ur car is that in that pic the front end looks too white.. or too much white and zero color

IMO keep it like it is and maybe add a subtle mesh in those 2 holes... (i dont know if thats ricer or not)

could you post a current pic? Im interested in seeing it with the mods.

that looks hella nice, keep it as is. the only thing I would consider doing to it is maybe taking out the bowtie and putting another emblem in its place....or maybe just out a black bow tie there

Thanks.

That is really the best pic I have right now. I don't really have any current pics right now because its under major construction at the time. It just got a mini tub, 12pt cage, new paint under the hood and engine. I am currently rewiring it so that none of the wiring shows. All the wiring for the lights and fans etc will not be visible. also I am redoing the brake lines so they are also hidden. Black and white is really the theme here with silver and red as accents. Here are a few pics though:

Since you got halos and black corners, do the SLP grille. I have it on my car and I get a lot of compliments on how it looks. Or if anything, change the red bowtie to black to go with the theme. Here's how an SLP grile would look on a white Camaro.
