Default Building new grill, opinions???

I've done multiple grill installations on a couple vehicles, but after viewing the site and materials needed I am fairly confident that building my own will be no problem! However, the site has numerous choices to choose from and what im looking for is something with a polished silver appearance to match the stock chrome rims of the SS. I already have an idea set aside but I would like my Monte Carlo community to give their opinions!

All of the choices are listed in the following link:

Stacking oval or the Perf Gt., most others look like a material we use in construction a metal lathe on floors and walls.

Really to tell the truth have to say I prefer the stock SS grille over any of those you had to choose from

You know what, you all bring up a great point and I WAS considering that answer choice, however I do have my mind set on building a different one because as sporty as stock is, it just isn't for me. especially the chevy bowtie on the front.. to me it just adds to the illusion that this is an impala. I WISH 7th generation was built with the knights crest ANYWHERE but we all know Chevy had different plans

I would then suggest stock SS grille lose the bow-tie and place the SS emblem on the grille like others have done (including myself) (this emblem is on e-bay and normally goes on the door) I was not fond of the bow-tie on the grille myself
