Default New Black Grill Installed

Got a chance today to install the 6LE Design black billet grill. Looks pretty sweet, alot better than the crappy plastic "camaro" stocker.


What ya think?



No teef




After the dentist


May end up tinting the corner lenses, but dont want my blinkers to go unseen...we'll see

I'm going to leave it the way it is, I like the way it looks. If I were going to paint behind it black I'd plasti-dip it, that way if I ever wanted to revert I could just peal off the coating.


Only thing I'd consider is highlighting the "camaro" lettering

Looks nice. I had chrome billet one for some time.

But now I like no grill & stock grille holes filled in & some mesh to cover foam.

If you highlight the camaro letters i would take the grill off and fill in the holes lol, painting the back black will draw more attention to the grill and not whats going on behind it,looks pretty good thats just my 2 cents

I think it looks fine. Why don't you go for some clear corner lenses

Yea thats on my list, I'm either going clear or tinted. Still aquiring parts for my cam swap. Picked up a set of slightly used heads locally. Hoping to have her torn apart by the middle of july at the latest.

I had a chrome billet in my old Camaro and loved it, was gonna go with black for my SS but decided to get inserts and keep the missing teeth. Looks good, op.
