can everybody tell me what my options are for a new grill on my 02 ss? is there a difference between the tony stewart grill and others? please post as many pics as you can!

 

2 options, TS or SLP. TS is plain, SLP has a bowtie. Painting the grill is one of the best things you can do to the grill on a non-black car. Whatever you do, blacken the area behind the opening with either matte black paint or vinyl. I did not and regret it. Here's why:


Here is the SLP grill with matte black vinyl overlay behind it and the border painted silver. I like this grille a LOT on this red Monte.

I have a red bowtie on my license plate filler. This one was custom made, but a Chevy dealer that handles GMPP parts should have one for about $4. That is the reason I wanted the TS grill for my car.

 

I like the SLP version. I'm planning on getting the SLP grill as soon as I can talk myself into painting the area behind it black. My concern is with the winter weather my car has to go through, if the SLP grill doesn't work out, I have a red car with a funky looking spot of flat black paint on the nose of the car. The knight's crest I'm not too worried about since the one on the car is starting to show signs of sun damage.

 

Where can ya get these grilles?

 

i just did some searching and i can only find the tony stewart grille on gmpartsdirect for $136. sucks cause i really would like this grille but 136 bucks is half my rockers almost. wish i could find them cheaper.

if you search ebay for the slp grille, it will come up. i just saw one for $90 but closed the link before i copied it. sorry.

 

Those are nice grills. That would definitely enhance the front end look. If I owned that generation it would be a must for my car.

 

This is a TS Grill with the Monte Emblem put on it .
It came Gloss Black I did not paint the car or the grill.

Try getting some matte black vinyl overlay and put that down benind your grille. That's what Andrea did on her red Monte, along with painting it.

 

i like the tony stewart edition one, i was kind of partial to it though(having a tony stewart car), even if your car is not black you can paint it to match your car and it looks pretty sweet
just looked nice and clean

 

Definitely one of those, I'll do it after the performance mods. They look great, but it is a little steep just for that tiny portion of the car.
