Billet Grille Install

I installed a top & bottom street scene black billet grille on my 2011 SS Convertible today and really like the way it came out except for a couple of things. First off, it didn't seem like I could reinstall the bumper reinforcement piece after installing the top replacement grille. Anyone else have this problem? Second, I'm not crazy about the fact that I can see my radiator and was wondering if anyone had any tips...

I have a grill very similar to that one. I had no problems with the install and I actually like the way it looks from the front. If you want to enjoy the wide openings get some lighting behind it for evening car shows and or local club meetings. You could also put some mesh behind it if it bothers you that much.

Thanks for the ideas! I've also considered spray painting the radiator black to help with the visual effect.

Maybe painting it so it glows under a black light, and then place a blacklight behind the center on your facia where the metal is. That might be interesting....
