The Grille

I was wondering if anyone had the front chrome or colored grille put on their C5?

I was looking at the nose of the corvette and thought to myself I really didn't like the look of the one light that is set inside the grille and was thinking of maybe putting in a chrome grille cover to hid it. Any feed backs and PHOTOS if you have the set up.

search the C5 section for "front grilles" and you'll find tons of pics and all of the different options.

Good luck and welcome to the forum

I always thought this particular angle caught the C5 design perfectly. It's my favorite angle to approach mine!

Nice pic!

That is a nice pic, but I would probably think twice about going into the rough with my Vette

That's what my Jeep is for...

cheers, Indy.
