I have the Tony Stewart grille insert from GMPP, which is the same but without the red bowtie, less money. (I have a red bowtie on my licence plate insert). It just mounts with 2-sided tape, just peel and stick.
I regret not painting the area behind it matte black, and depending on the color of your car, I recommend doing this, anyway.

Speaking of which, Wayne...that grill MADE your car. I mean, she was pretty before the grill, don't get me wrong, but that is a great touch!!!

I totally agree with Bigg J, that grill on your car made me really think twice about having the emblem on the front. So I decided to order one of my own!

I've also been considering this SLP grill. I love the way RocknSS04's looks, his looks glossier than the SLP one though?? or maybe its just the way the light is hitting it? I think a silver aluminum grille might look nice, but I've been unable to find one.

I also like the grill this guy has with the shield on it, can't find that one either though. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/1337169

Anyone have links to where these grills can be purchased?

Yup...you can get it from:

3800performance.com

or

GMpartsdirect.com

I am still not willing to part with over $100 for that little piece of plastic (no matter how nice a touch it is). But then again, that's me. If you have the cheddar for it, why not? I just bought those taillight covers from PFYC and felt butt-hurt that I spent almost $60 including shipping for thoe pieces of plastic. Yes, I like them, but I think they are over priced like the grill. I plan to cut out the slats to leave an open hole for each light and paint them to match body colour.

Look on ebay, you can find one I'm sure.

Igot anextra SLP grill, just incase I mess up my existing one and paid only 65 bucks for it.
They are not making the SLP's anymore BTW.

Yes, mine is a full gloss finish, and yes, it was a little salty, but not as bad as the SLP piece from SLP. I got $133.26 into mine. Still wish I would have painted the area behind it matte black.
I am VERY happy with the grille insert. I HATED that whatever emblem on the front, it looked out of place.
Side note: just got all my ZZPerformance speed parts installed. Still got the big brakes and the strut brace to install, plus modify the K&N intake heat shield to accomodate the throttle body spacer moving the filter. It pulls just under 10# of boost now. WOW! Hoping to get the computer re-programmed at ZZP this Friday.
