I purchased an SLP SS grille for my 01 SS. It arrived yesterday and today I went out and removed the old one which was held in place by two Phillips head screws (yes you read that correctly). Underneath I found THIS:






I think it looks pretty cool and thinking about keeping it like this--just wish I knew how to fill in all the holes. Anyone have any idea if anyone makes any push in pieces to cover up them up?

 

I had a bumper repair place fill the holes in for me.

 

i did the same on my z28 when i replaced the bumper in 2003 its holding up very well take a look at the link

 

i could never find any models that didnt have the plastic black grill on them, form the factory, so i dont understand why camaro was stamped on there...

 

The SLP grill looks 10 times better than the missing grill.

 

I agree. I think the Bowtie grill looks even better, especially when the Bowtie is a contrasting color or body color.

 

Yeah, the SLP bowtie grill is my favorite.

 

Does the car come stock with the bowtie behind the front license plate mount?

 

Yeah, I had mine like the OP for a while, then went to billet, now I have SLP bowtie. I like it ALOT more and get a TON more compliments on it now. Can't leave the house without people talking about how much they like the car, and make a remark about the blue bowtie.

 

No. Behind the license plate mount on LS1 cars it says CAMARO. On the LT1 cars, there's a bowtie though.

 

*looks at signature*

Thanks!

 

I should have read your sig before responding. There will be a bowtie there. Careful removing the bracket though, seeing 15 years worth of slight paint damage from the bracket rubbing on the nose of the car might depress ya!
