It is kinda sad the 5th gens lack a knights crest and/or some type of actual front grill. If it had a grill, that might look better then the bow tie.
Typically, I see a big RED bow tie in that spot and it looks out of place being RED in a spot lacking a grill... Heck, if it had a grill, could use a smaller bow tie and it would not have to sit on the bumper cover.

Are there any aftermarket ones? Or is it a custom build?

Definately ON...... I would look into an aftermarket grill, if one exists... Then I would say off, with an SS emblem instead...

Found this grill option for your Monte...

That would be the cheapest one out now^

Man I love those billets.

But I think one would look ugly on my car, hence me never getting one :/
