The stock grill for me.I won't comment on how ridiculous some of these grills look on a Vette nor on how much money people actually pay for them!

I would go with racemesh, black coated. You definitely won't please everyone though and who cares in the end. People still put on Z51 badges even though they get flamed a lot.

Depends on the car color. The mesh behind the stock black looks great IMO on JSB, VR & VY cars. Personally, I like my chrome grill on my Monterey Red. It's all subjectve.

I like my chrome grill, it looks factory, though is chromed, an improvment over the black plastic one!
