Default Painted SS grill for 98-02 SS

I am looking for a painted SS grill for a 98-02 SS. I would like a white one with black SS emblem. I could not find it on the SLP page but I know that I have seen one. Any help??

It must have been a custom job, all of the ones I have seen were black

All the SLP offered ones are black with either red or silver outlined SS emblems or the 35th anniversary model in red with stripes:



There have been a number of people to paint them custom, though, and those are the ones you've seen:

The white one is identical to mine except mine has Z06 rims. That is what I want.

Third or fourth time: it's custom painted.

I like the clear corners on the white too! I am going to have to get some of those as well. I thought I saw one once that did not have the little bar that goes across in the middle. Do you think it was just a bumper with all the garbage filled it with a SS emblem in the middle. I was thinking of doing that too because my front bumper has a few small scratches on it.

You can either have the SLP custom painted or you can remove the factory grill and have the holes filled in behind it. I am assuming your car is white. Clear corners can be found everywhere. From our sponsors to ebay.

Without the bar would have been one of many other options. There's a lot of companys that make grille replacements. You just have to look around and choose the style you like best. Color of course, is up to you.

^^^See post 6


And for the last time if you want it painted to match your particular paint scheme you need to have a shop paint it to match. The colors and styles shown in those three links is the only ones you can purchase.

The middle bar is molded as part of the grille.

The one without the middle bar is a different grill all together. You are thinking of the Wings West version but that has been discontinued for a long time. I believe RK Sport and DG Motorsprts make similar ones.

I like both of them but I would either fill in the camaro or RK sport and put an ss emblem on the front.
