dont... you will be hard pressed to come up with somthing that doesnt look lame, or dated.. grilles very easily look very "billet" in an 80'ies uncool way

of you want to change the front look into marques front valance or simmilar...

We've been working with Zoops on easy to install, clean, tasteful billet grille solutions. Rather than the usual blingy billet grille mojo, these grilles just modernize the look of the car. We just lowered price too! And for a zero-bling option, they will be available full black powdercoat. 68 Camaros will be available for shipment on or about Monday March 23rd. We're doing an install on Vin'z car this week.
I will update my site with new lower prices, product pix and an install article this week. I'll upload some fresh pix to this thread later today or tomorrow.

Hey Steve any pics of a 69 RS grill? I need to replace mine been looking at options. Any idea on cost? Do they install over an existing grill or replacement what is there?

Thanks!

We have found a source for billet grills for muscle cars. they look very nice considering others I have seen and comprable in looks to Zoops. I am just waiting for them to show up before I make the official annoucement and post pics.

I'm with you. I had the same initial impression. Vin even got a grille from one of the big Camaro parts suppliers that looked good in their catalog but reminded me of this in person:

The Zoops grilles look right at home and the mounting provisions are well thought out.

That grille is at the powdercoaters. I'll take pix as soon as I can. They install over the existing grille or can replace the existing piece using only simple hardware store supplies--or you can trim some of the existing grille away. The 69 RS is one of my favorite installs. Works nice with the painted factory surround and chrome trim. Price for all grilles is $199.95
Thanks
