I know ofa number of people who have installed the SLP grill and really like it. Haven't heard of any real complaints about it.
One suggestion I've seen is, if you have a car that is a bright color (red, yellow, white, etc...), you may want to consider painting the area being covered by the SLP grill black. Then paint the SLP grill body color to give a better look.

Even if your car is black, either paint it OR get some flat black vinyl used for graphics, and cover the area behind the grille. Even on a black car like mine, you can see the gloss of the paint, and it looks funny. Mine is the Tony Stewart GM insert, but you can get an idea of the gloss issues.

This is Andrea's red Monte, and she used the black tape, and also painted the edge of the insert silver. VERY sharp!

I really like what Andrea did there. I might have to steal that. To be honest, the Motortopia pic of my car reposted by Taz ...



has actually been Photoshopped to eliminate some of the red that shows though. I will have to use this idea to remedy it in the spring.

(For the record, this is also the only photo of my car that I have ever touched up. The rest are the real deal)

I think that doing the grille like Andrea's would look GREAT on your car! Does on her's!

I didn't want the red bowtie because the hood has a large white one right above it, so I painted the chev logo black on purpose. But the silver looks great

That's why I got the TS grille, as I have a big red bowtie on my license plate filler, and didn't want 2 bowties.
