I'll defend the black grille by saying isn't that what Day 2 is all about? Scenario: Maybe on Day 2 the young new owner wanted a more sinister look so he rattle-canned the grille black. Day 2 is the process of getting away from factory stock and not necessarily doing it like everyone else would. Are we now going to ruin the freedom of Day 2 modifications by limiting it to just speed equipment and wheels but the grill has to be the correct silver or it's wrong?? I beseech you my fellow car lovers: Let us not kill Day 2 with too many "rules"!

And let us understand a major tenet of our hobby: Of course you would do it differently but it's not your car!

I yield the remainder of my time.

Gotta agree with Bill about the black grill.....leave it. It's shame somebody can't post pictures of a car they're proud of without having an "expert" showing how smart they are and pointing out things that are wrong with the car. Same thing just happened with C. Lill's lift-off hood Hemi Challenger and it's grill color. This Camaro looks great.....thanks for posting photos!

Nice car! Even though this is a day 2 car, you should turn the air cleaner seal inside out and mount it properly, it will seal much better to the hood that way

Seems like it was the thing to do back in the day by having a black grill, for my Z too had one when i purchased it.I just had to repaint it silver because to me it didn't look right.Like Sam said,it stands out a lot more.Didn't mean anything bad about your car Ed,it's a great looking car.
