Need help with heritage grille decision! - Page 3 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Unpainted, I like the contrast on your car. Mine just blacks out the whole thing, which I prefer on the white as opposed to having the white grille.

Perfect solution is...
Get the painted one and plastidip it black. Then if you ever change your mind just peel off the dip.

Mr. Stacy · 02-23-2016, 05:26 PM

I vote black.

I like the painted one. Gives it a finished look. I even went with the painted one on black to get rid of the plastic look.

I prefer the subtle contrast of the black with my IBM.

It does not look bad either way, but if you are not going to paint it, why spend the money to replace the grill? A debadged stocker looks very similar to an unpainted heritage grill. Just my .02

I had mine painted. Take note of the grille that goes over the turning signal. I had that painted black. I thought that part being red would be too much red.

Just to be different, something to distinguish and make it mine! Set it apart from the crowd. (And there are a large number around central Texas.)

I will definitely go with a painted heritage grill at some point. Have a debadged stock one now.

Painted. But I'm a little biased.
