I was leaning that way, initially... But after reading more about the influence (albeit - probably only a tiny bit) the grille has on aerodynamics, I'll put that $$$ toward something that will make ZL1 go faster and perform better. BUt I digress...

I think the grille looks great, but the one pic' I've seen really just tells me to leave it as it is; maybe a billet, but that's about it.

What are you looking to do? Maybe getting this option?

there is a silver on on ebay with it right now. It does not look bad but it doesn't look good enough for me to spend the money on it. I think both grills look good.

I like the ZL1 stock grill on the ZL1. The heritage grill fits nicely on the SS, IMO.

I'd be more concerned with the cooling effects than aero, but either way. . . I think the ZL grill looks better anyway

Didn't the Chevy engineers say that the factory grille was functional for better cooling and aero dynamics? or was it just the lower grille? not sure. But hate to see a grille affect the ZL1's performance, especially on the track course.
