Well if I'm right, and this is the V6 grill, and if that is the only outside difference between models, then you would have a "sleeper" if you changed the grill.

Only people that know the difference would notice anyway. (assuming that the grill and spoiler will be the only difference in the appearance of the V6-V8.

IMO I like the grille from the spy pics better than the concept. The concept grille looked good head on but from the side it looked a bit odd. The horizontal style grille in the spy pics looks good from all the angles I've seen so far in the spy pics.

I think once the headlights are in and the bowtie in place the grille will look even better.

That picture is of a 3.6 v6 car ....those are just likely the base brakes .

I was talking more about like they have on the new Malibu. Its a criss cross pattern, instead of the egg-crate grill we see now and from the first gen.
