No flame intended, but IMHO "close but no cigars".
Something about the contradiction between the straight lines of the grilles inside the curved lines of the opening, just doesn't work for me.
But, it is your car, your money, and your opinion that matters!

Very interesting - Are they chrome, like the front of a Denali?
Please show a picture from further back, showing full front.

Seeing something New is always a treat, but when you get down to design, these very straight, very defind bars take away from the smooth curves and lines of the car... they smack you right in the face, and they draw too much attention to themselves and over power the already beautifully sculptures front fascia, they also have that techno feel of a ricer. Like the straight bar grills found in those bling bling Escalades, or straight grills of those moded S-10's.

No I took a set of OEM Z06 screen and replaced the stainless steel mesh with the perforated stainless steel.
Used the actual plastic housing from the Z06 screens here is a picture of the plastic housing. Stole the picture from patches and add the text for someone else

I like both looks, but prefer to have it the way it came, I like the front all black.

I think it has a 60's grille feel to the alloy horizontal bars. I like it but I prefer the Z06 screens. Now who can get a set of 1958 Corvette floating grilles in there? LOL.
