Show me your grille
Taking my SS to paint shop, getting the mailbox slot & upper part of bumper(just below lights & grille) painted a flat black, plus trunk blackout panel painted the flat black.
They have to pull entire front bumper to paint the specified areas and guy said if I want to replace grille, nows my chance  Soooo... don't want something that is flimsy cheap plastic. But do need something that is direct replacement without any modifications. Ran a search but couldn't find a whole lot of info. Need some input on which grille is best, best made/durable and is direct replacment. Pics would be nice (esp on IOM car)

Most people will say Heritage grille, use the search option.

You could always go with the Heritage grille or the ZL1 grille.

I did use the search option to discover 105 pages of threads talking about everything but grilles & their quality. Maybe I typed the wrong query wording.
I have looked at the Heritage photos, I liked the painted body color around frame & black grille center. But is this plastic? How sturdy / durable is it? Is it a direct replacement without modifiying? I like the SS in the center too, but to me it looks a bit crooked? Thanks

Grille can make a huge difference on appearance, just depends on style you are looking for. Heritage I hear is good and the ZL grille but a lot of people don't like to mix and match

I vote for the ZL1 grill. But I am biased.

Stock grill painted gloss black is very simple and clean imo. Not the best pics

Never thought to paint the stock grille... interesting alternative & looks very clean.
Thanks all for the pics & input.
