Hmm, thought the guy asked for options. Not Opinions!
You know the old saying! Everyone has one. Personally, i like the " truck look" as well.
Guess i'll keep my Billett Grill.

Hmmm...I guess "opions" could be interpreted as opinions or options? Well...I guess he kinda got both.

I think it depends on the color of the car and what you like. I enjoy the billet look so I went with the billet grill.



However, I am considering the wings west insert. I think it would make the front of the car flow alot better and I am sure it would look awesome on your car.

I'm on my 3rd grill, heh.
Got rid of the stocker in a hurry, and had a billet grill for awhile, with a 1969-style Z/28 emblem in it:


Then ditched that in favor of a Wings West grill with billet Camaro lettering:


Just remember one thing... no matter what people say about stuff, do what YOU like!

I vote for the SLP grille. All of the others just seem too overdone. The lines on the Camaro are smooth and fluid, and having steel bars running through the middle of the nose or two gaping holes staring onlookers directly in the face really detracts from the look and feel of the car, in my opinion.

And I'm not a big fan of being able to clearly see through the billet grilles, regardless of the paint color behind them.

I love my SLP grille. Do as you wish, but be sure to take your time. Once you have one, it's hard to turn right around and buy something else...to much cash. Just do it right the first time. GET WHAT YOU WANT.

I was grille less for a while, and I must say, those holes really got on my nerves. If you have them filled in, it doesn't look all that bad, but I still prefer a grille insert of some kind. Just my .02

No thanks...I think I'll stick to my "truck" grill.
I agree with this one.... its all about what yer car looks like IMO..... i got stainless decals all around with stainless bumper inserts... followed by chrome rims... so ide much rather the shine billet than a plastic.... not to mention... it took me 5 mins to put my billet in... and it will take you a hell of alot longer for the "nice $200 plastic grill" 70 bucks for a stainless billet... over 200 bucks for plastic... &%$#@! that....
