Default ZO6 grille help needed

I thought I saw a few pictures of the ZO6 grille installed on a non-ZO6 stingray where the new grille was painted to match the color of the car. I have been searching the forum, but have been unable to locate any.

Can anyone help direct me to the thread(s)?

Thanks

Most likely the owner bought a Z06 grill (which easily fits into a Stingray) and painted it body color before installing.

RPI sells them. I guess you have some choices to make, then add it all up. I would recommend contacting them to be certain:

You could always buy the grille and get a body shop to paint it for you, I have no idea what that would cost though.

Thanks. That's exactly what I will do. I just need to see how it would look. Thought someone already did it and posted pictures.

RPI only paints the brake ducts. Looks good. My car is Cyber Gray, so just painting the brake ducts wouldn't really show up. Wanted to see what it would look like if the entire grille was painted body color.

Just my opinion. The Z06 grill is painted carbon flash metallic, which matches the rear valance, hood grill, side gills, A-Pillars. I think painting body will work against the other parts painted carbon flash.
