Which grill for my Z?

Im looking into getting a grill for my lt1 z28 but not sure which ones look nice. Does anyone have pics of their grills on LT1's?
Im looking at these:

This one looks a little questionable
Grill 1

Grill 2

Thumbs up

I have the grille TECH one... diamond style powdercoated black... i got it off of ebay too.... the grill ITSELF is nice, but it comes with these cheapo clips and tie wraps for mounting.... (when i saw that, i shook my head) so I went out to sears hardware and bought everything i needed to make my own custom mounting system (it involves long thin bolts, washers and wingnuts... )
I must say it does look sharp, and is especially cool, because i can take it off in a snap, wash the car, and then put it back on in a snap....
but i'm willing to bet that the grilleCRAFT one is probably better.... (grille craft has a site... they have mounting instructions on the site.... take a look and compare)
I am finding out more and more, that you get what you pay for.
good luck!

Go with the grilletech. I had their billet grille on my 94 V6 and loved it. As far as the cable ties you put it on with, you can't really see them if you do it right. The other grille does look questionable. Didn't look to see if it had a close-up, but the "grille" could be metal screen, or some time of "gutter gaurd" that all the imports use.

Oops, the first one was the grilletech. Forget everything I just posted. Never had any problem with my grilletech. Either one looks good though. I'd go with the grilletech though because the other is $100+ for just about the same thing.

I agree unless you have numerous other appearence mods then a grill looks allright. If Not.... I dont like it on a stock or sleeper camaro. Just doesnt flow with the car.




Later,

Definetly go black. The silver grill makes the car look like it's smiling

I like grille #2 best, but it's somewhat tough to compare how they'll look, since one is on the LT1 style front end, and the other is on the LS1 style...

I don't like either. I liked the "lined" Billet grilles the best on LT1's.
