Nice Monte but you need to start catching the mod bug. There's some great ideas here. How about painting the ugly bottom clad? May I also suggest removing the rear bowtie and maybe replacing it with the SS red one?

If I don't like the way it looks I can always change it.

I hadn't thought about painting the bottom clad. I don't even know what color I'd paint it, or how to go about doing it. I'm sure I could figure out how to take it off. I think it's just held on with plastic clips. Might me a neat thing to do if I could decide on a color. I like the darker grayish color that it is now.

Food for thought.

The SLP grill kind of disguises that to some degree.

On a black car, the TS grill works okay. But I would still go with an SLP grill, and simply put a badge of your liking on the blank spot. Besides, I've heard that TS grills are getting hard to find now. And they're more expensive than the SLP.

WRONG!! lol sry all u do is take to paint shop have outside ring of it painted 2 match color of our car, so things will run u bout 200 in total, remove the knights crest go hardware store grab a can flat black paint, a scratch pad and sum cleaner place grill on car with out the film removed from the glue mark the outline with a pencil then paint under the grill black thats what i did on my white 2000 ss and i got lots of complaments and it looked great!!!!!
