Default Front grille idea... What do you think? *POLL*

I was bored the other day and took my factory front grille off. No big deal, since I don't have a bumper support in right now. I just wanted to see what it looked like, as well as clean the seven years of dirt out from behind it.

I was surprised at how aggressive the car looked without it, and it got me to thinking about ideas for a new look.

I'm not going to do this right now, it's still too cold to be messing with body work and paint around here, but I would like to do this sometime in the Spring. The car is not getting any clear corners or a billet grille, so no comments about that please. Stay on topic.

Here's how it looks sans grille:



I would like to fill the holes, then put some mesh grilles in behind the holes. Here are my options. I've already pretty much made up my mind which, but I want to see what the legion of F-body owners thinks... Excuse the quick and dirty chops please.

Silver/Chrome Mesh:



Silver/Black Mesh:



Now for the black ones, keep in mind that I would paint it GLOSS black, to match my rear Berger panel.

Black/Chrome Mesh:



Black/Black Mesh:



Vote, and let me think what YOU think looks best. Thanks in advance guys!

How about "Anything other than stock" for an option. Can't believe you left that hideious stock grill in there for so long, I yanked mine out the day I bought the car.

I think the first two look the best. Maybe silver with black mesh.

And have you considered the RK sport grill?


They used to sell a smooth version, without that gay RKSPORT **** embossed on there. Hopefully they still do

Match it with your berger panel...and what about doing the whistler mod with black housing turn signals?

(just a thought)

I'm really liking the black on black, but you should also have some other supporting black parts to really make it look good
