Pulled off the ugly black plastic grill

I pulled off my ugly grill and my front end looks so much better! Does anyone know what I should do with the remaining holes? Should I just have a body shop fill those in and reshoot it?

Thanks!

Here's a grill like mine that has been filled, this probably only looks good on a black car.

NICE! How hard was the mesh to get in?

I don't know but it dosen't look that hard, You can get to the back of those holes by removing the headlights. Some aluminum screen from home Depot could work?

Thanks,
Travis

The guy that did that only filled in the 6 holes where the grill attached, but other then that it is exactly how it looks under the black plastic grill. With the Camaro logo already being there I don't have any idea why GM would just slap on a plastic grill.
I just pulled mine off on Saturday, there are tabs on each side that are easy to pop out. You have three bottom tabs that you just pull out as well but you have to use some needlenose plyers and pinch the top three tabs that are secured into the front fascia.

With the aluminum mesh you could either screw it to the black Styrofoam that's behind the front fascia or you could even just silicon it to the back of the fascia. Mine doesn't have any mesh and it looks fine, up close you can tell there black Styrofoam behind the fascia but it's hard to see.
