SLP grille coming soon, need opinions please :)
 

I ordered an SLP grille, should be getting it soon but don't know if i should leave it all black or paint the surrounding edge to match my car

let me know what you guys think :cool:

Mine is not a SLP grille but a Tony Stewart grille. I had the edges painted on mine. Here is a pic just to give you an idea what it looks like. I had the grille area painted to match my ground effects also.

Paint it white to match your Monte. All white.

I've seen alot of pics on SLP grilles painted and left black, I like em both
And ummm all white, ehh :p
Doesn't seem to go with my car to be honest, I want some black on the grille to compliment my dark wheels :thumbsup:

i was thinking all white would be sweet maybe and if you're just spray painting it id try it lol

I can't vote in your poll because I don't know your plans.

If you decide to do the lower grille black, then doing just the outside white and leaving the middle black would look much better. But having that be the only bit of black will look weird on your car. (IMO)

However, if don't paint the grille white, the white behind your grille will show through and look weird.

Paint it white.. I have a Tony Stewart Grille Black like my Monte..

i see what your saying mike, well the i dont think i like the all white idea :p
i think im goin with the white around the grill and black in the center :thumbsup:
and of course im painting behind the grill first :cool:
as for the lower grille, i'll just paint it black, i dont see the point in spending $70 for the slp one when you can easily paint it yourself :cool:
nice jerry, how much did u get that TS for?
and on a black monte everything looks nice in black to match :p

I bought it a few years ago for $120 new.. Should look nice with center black and edge white..:thumbsup:

thanks jerry:)

does anyone know where i can get a bowtie decal for the grille? the one i ordered doesnt come with nothing:o
and i dont want to go with the SS logo :p

What if you get a bowtie off trunk and heat/ bend to fit grille..

Go on ebay, there's tons of bowties and emblems to choose from lol.

If you are painting the bottom black, the white outline, black middle, black behind will look great!!! :thumbsup:

All white. Haha, also I got you Friday. Couldn't do it Sunday so I'll do it this week.

I Painted the outline of mine to match my car and the inside of it black, I think this is the best way to do it, but then again it's your car so whatever you choose will be good :) Good luck!!

here is mine

Id deff go with a white edge & black center

i think it's a little too big jerry :confused:

yep i'll check out ebay in a bit :thumbsup:
and that's exactly what im going to do mike :D
i think it'll look great :cool:

ta bien :thumbsup:

thanks man :)

Urs looks badass blazed, but im goin with the white outline :o

thanks man ;)

quick question for u guys!!!
should i paint my XM antenna on roof to match my car? :)

thats cool man i just wanted to show you the all black . Maybe some one can photo shop the outside ring white for you so you can see how it looks ?
I would leave the xm black if you are doing a white and black theme if you want to make it disappear somewhat do it white but my vote would be black

Id leave the antenna black on it

dont get me wrong ur car looks badass with them grilles like that :thumbsup:
i just decided i want the white surround:o
i was thinking maybe the antenna white and the leaving the bottom rubber gasket black?

that would be cool and make it blend but still pop out I like that idea !!:thumbsup:

I always wanted to have No bow tie or the SS on the grill but put the knights crest back on over the black grill but I never could figure out a way to do it . I don't think any one has. If you could it would be 1 of a kind . Just saying as a Idea .

yep yep thanks man, that's what im going to do :)
i can always paint it black again anyways ;):cool:

When I first got my SLP grille back in 05 I painted mine all red and loved it. At that time people didn't paint the whole grille, so I felt different I really enjoyed having something that was similar but still looked different. When I was using my SLP grille I went to the JY and got some bowties off the back of two different Lumina's/5th gen MC's one was blue the other was black and they fit perfect on the SLP grille. If you want pictures I can post them.

But my vote would be ALL white with a blue bowtie...that would give it that classic Chevy look in my opinion :)

post pics please :D
and im goin with red since i have no blue on my car :p

And the blue bowtie was used on the LS model, ewwwww :P

i agree mike, ewwwww :P

one of these would look good. https://montecarloforum.com/forum/pa...ks-best-21580/

Those look great Lou!
But I don't want the crest emblem there nomore :p
I'm looking for a bowtie emblem in red, the gel looking kind of emblems :thumbsup:

Here's a shot of a different twist and how I did mine. Accent color inside and body color trim. I also did the lower grille in the accent color as well which I think helps to bring it out.

BADASS! no girl this time? :(:rotfl: jk jk
i would do something like that if my high sport kit were a diff color

Well I was saying since you got the black and white theme going you could do the center black paint the trim white and do the bow tie white to contrast.

Oh and I got one with her too, I just thought she'd cover up too much of the grille for the description. lol

PacerSS , Nice Looking Grille you have there..:thumbsup:

I'd call it more of a hood ornament there Jerry lol

Haha Pacer, your thread should be stickied. ;)


...ride looks awesome btw. I'm sure i've said this plenty before.:)

:rotfl::congrats:

Agh i cant find a good bowtie decal! :confused::(
Someone help lol

They come with the SLP grille if I recall correctly.

I got mine on eBay that's why I'm not getting one lol
The one that comes included from SLP, is it a gel type of decal or just a regular flat one?
