  • grill help

    Ok so i'm accumulating funds now, and i'm thinking about getting a different grill for my car or taking the stock grill and sanding it all nice and smooth and painting it the same color as the car. I was thinking of a billet grill but most of the ones i see you can see right through them and see the backing and everything. So i'm looking for some opinions or some good photoshoppers, and if anyone does photoshop it, could you throw some wheels on it as well, some c5's or what you think would look good. I'm keeping the orange markers because i think they look good on my color car. There's quite a few pics at cardomain. Thanks in advance.

    Here's what mine looks like. For $50 shipped from ebay I didn't think it was to darn bad.

      i bought that same 50 dollar one off of ebay, you are soposed to paint behind the grill black so it wont show thru but i just got insert letters for the back and i like the way it turned out



      or you can get something like this, it is the grill that west wing company makes, but i think they can get pricey cause you have to get it painted

          I never thought of that. With mine being red it's dark enough you can't really see behind unless you really get on the ground and try. Painting the camaro black would be a nice touch. Nice car.

            i think clear coners would look great on your color. as for a grill just put a nice billet one on. but i wouldnt paint behind the grill becuase thats way to nice of a color to do that too. and you only see behind the grill from certain angles anyway.

            hints about this:

                  Thanks for the replies, i think i'm gonna go with the stock grill pained blue and then add in some white camaro lettering. Thanks for the input though. I still have some paint from my car, so maybe this winter i can work on it between semesters of college. Mechanical Engineering classes are kicking my @$$. Thanks again, and I want those rims off of that silver camaro

                    Dkotch22, where do you live in michigan, i'm up around Frankenmuth, Birch Run area. I ask because it seems like there are no camaro clubs around here, or any car meets.
