Grille replacement

I am looking for suggestions for replacing the grill(s) on my 2012 Camaro. I want a straight bolt on replacement, without cutting or any other serious mods needed. I'm looking for a billet style, any suggestions ? Vendors ?
Thanks !

Maybe the phantom one that is made by T-Rex I believe.

I just googled it and went to the first site I found so many others will have it

FYI, any grill replacement will require removing the front fascia. No biggie to some, scary to others.

Well that can be true and not true. They make both a valance grille and a grille that covers what is existing from the factory. If you choose a valance your have to actually remove the fascia if you choose a cover one then you simply follow the instructions and mount it on the existing stock grill. While it is technically not a replacement it still gives similar desired looks.

T Rex makes some good overlay grilles. Price may be high depending on which one you want, but they don't take much to install. Had one on my truck.

Don't get an overlay. It's easy to install a replacement and looks a lot better IMO. I've taken my front end off 4 times now.

Heritage grill.

It's the GM heritage grill. Many of the vendors here sell it and some members sell their user ones. The lower grill is from Street Scene. My hood is stock with vinyl hood spears from Big Worm.
