Default Grilleless

Sorry no pics of mine, i just put a different grill in its place. I did rock it grilleless for a while though, and liked the way it looked from a distance, but up close it looked cheap/broken. It would look good with the holes filled in though probably. I would want something to cover up the impact foam that you see through the holes too.

ya that is the same things i thought, too. i think it looks better than the stock grille though. i want to have it filled in but once you do you cant really go back. i could get it done for under 200.

Ya our cars definitely look better without it. I dont know what GM was thinking. It is almost like they were designed that way at some point since camaro is stamped there.

Worst decision I ever made on my red Z28.

Before when I had ZR1's

I then took the original grill, painted it black, and then it looked 100x better... granted I did the whistler mod at the same time.
