      What do you think of the billet Foose grill?

      Available through Year One? I'm trying to decide if I want to go with it. It's not an exact replica of the one on his cars (it doesn't have the two thicker bars). My car is blue with pearl white stripes and pearl white interior and I'm shying away from the black grill. Has anyone put one on?

      What do those Billet Grills run? And do you have a link to Year One showing it? They look pretty sweet, at some point I need to replace mine as it has some cracks in it.

      When it comes to installing a Billet grill on a newer car or truck, it usually enhances the looks but with the 69 Camaro, they just got it right the first time.
      I had a 69 RS and loved the front end so much that even if you gave me a billet replacement, I would never install it. I know people like to change things to be different from everyone else and that's cool but I think it's hard to improve on "that" car anyway.

      Where did you buy your grill? I don't see them on Year Ones website.

      OP hasn't been around in over a year. And for everyone's benefit, it's a grille, not a grill. Do a search on grille, there's another thread you'll find interesting.

      At one time, I recall Carriage Works or someone like Empire Motorsports making billet grille inserts for various years of Camaros....

      Billet grilles remind me of the "mini truck" era. I think it dates the overall look of the car very quickly. I think it's better left alone. My .02 cents.

      I agree , just like people that still use tube or bar grilles on thier rides....very dated look that is the sign of the times.
