Exclamation New Grill. PLEASE HELP!

I think the look of the stock front end of my 2000 Monte Carlo is nice. However, I like the look of the Tony Stewart grill. I've looked all over this site and looked online for one, but I can't seem to find one. Can someone please help me find one for pretty cheap?

Wow, thanks so much! I can't wait to slap one of these things on my car!
Right now, its all stock and I'd like to make some mods, but I don't want it to look tacky, you know? Any ideas on what kind of things I could do for fairly cheap?

if you go to my garage you can see how we installed mine and the lower grill also
painting the break calipers is cheep but makes it look good also
and the lower grill is like $50 and makes a difference also

What about tinting? I looked up the legal limit where I live (Iowa) and it says you have to allow about 70% of the light in on the two front windows. Would it even be worth the money to tint just that little bit?

What about rims? My car is maroon colored and I was thinking about mostly black rims with chrome accent, but my friend suggested all chrome rims. I'd probably stick with around 17" or 18" because of the price of the tires.

Head lights, tail lights, hoods or hood scoops, etc.

Oh yeah, is there a grill without the Chevy bowtie on it? I think the red would clash with my maroon paint.

Thanks

ok on the slp grill you can put the bowtie on or not i got a ss bade and put it on there because it looked better
your car would look good with tint for sure even if it is 30%
and on the rims i like the stock rims i just upgraded to the ones off a 2005 ss that were 17" rims I like the black rims and you can see what they will look like on your monte at tire rack .com

Aren't the 2000-2005 Monte's all the same? Because I was thinking about just buying stock rims from one of those models, like you did.

What's the tint on your Monte? It looks really good and if I know how much you did, I could have something to judge off of.
