Default New Grilles

Had bought some "Racemesh" grilles from Chip @ CCA for the Z06.Finally installed them this week. Look a lot nicer than the ones that came with the car. Don't know if the pics do them justice.

Have not made up my mind weather to to install a set or not? I think the black border on the larger ones would match better, if they make them that way for the smaller ones? Thx for sharing your Pics..

I bought some Racemesh grilles from Chip a couple years ago and still have not put them in. I need to make time to do some car work this winter.

Thanks for the thumbs up. The pics turned out a lot better than I thought.
Garb55, there was a post on the other forum relative to making the black border for the brake duct openings. I think you need to use the black rubber (?) trim that goes on window screens. Can be found at Home Depot with the screening material. I didn't have any luck using it.

I got the black powder coated version from Chip. Top quality! Your grilles look great too!

The black grilles look good on your car. Not sure they would look good on the silver versus the yellow.
