I have the same question. I like the Heritage grill on other cars, but on black, the Heritage part seems to get lost in the shadows. I just did a search and can't find a thread I read today where one of the vendors, Gary, Glen ??? had a new line of grills and they were awesome...much better than the Heritage grills. If you find who it was, let me know and good luck on your choice.

I like the heritage but I feel everyone has it, so I got a custom billet one made from:http://www.billet-grilles.com/chevy-...rs-p-5410.html

I love the look, i think it would be sick on a black camaro.

Te heritage is is the best. I painted mine to match the car (Black) but you can paint it a custom color.

I almost feel like it isn't worth changing the grill on my black camaro, because if I spent the money it wouldn't show well. Chromed grills are a maybe and few in style.

I would consider one of these (especially the black one with red):

I was all over the Heritage grills but now that I finally bought a Camaro, I think I'm gonna just leave the stock grill in it.

Heritage looks mean with no badge on black.

Donation no but I might sell it idk. And I was the same way until I bought the grill and put it in my black one. I'll upload some pics. I have a red one now dunno if I want to paint it red or leave it black or just sell it. Hmmm

Thanks man, lots more modding to go, just added a MPD1 spoiler today. But the Grille install was very very easy. Take off the bumper, snap out the old grille, put the other in its place and screw into it through the tabs. Thats it.
