......I bought the GM replacement grill from Cultrag for less than 2 bills (don't remember exactly) 'cause the official carbon fiber one was about $400(?). Even then my trusty Vette mechanic said it took alittle "jockeying" to make it fit/look right. Add 'bout 75 bucks for the install and it looks a lot better than the old one (reminded me of a kid with braces....sorry I'm an old teacher
)
)They are currently selling the front grille with camera's for $489 plus $50 shipping. No one can tell me, or have shown, if you can transfer the camera's off the stock grille I have, so thats the issue I am running into. If I could transfer them, I would be the one without camera's, which would be a hell of a lot cheaper, and not worry about it. $600 for a front grille, in my opinion, is a bit steep. Thats me. I have seen grille's for $1000. To each their own.

GM does not sell the camera brackets/hardware separate for the Z06 grille, which is different between the two grilles.
Unless you decide to go aftermarket,
OEM GM Grille with cameras is your best choice,

If you are able to make/source a bracket for the cameras, you would be able to save a couple hundred and get the grille without cameras.

Sometimes being a corvette owner can be so frustrating. Yes the car is expensive, but that doesnt mean we all just want to throw money around for nothing. I have truly grown to dislike the front grille on my car, and really just want to change it. Imagine if it was just a easy, cheap way to do it. Not everything needs to be carbon fiber, or exotic. Just a simple front grille change. Anyway, I know, bite the bullet. Will post pics when I finally make a choice

Look bud, you have a good looking kid with ugly braces. You’d spend money removing your kid’s braces right? Well, there you go. Here’s a pic of my good looking kid I brought home from the dealership with the ugly braces and the second pic is the nice, straight teeth.
Easy swap, bunch of bolts to remove the facia and 2 plastic clips up top. Watch Jeremy Welborn’s vid on YouTube and I also did a write on this with detailed pics in February, in this section when I swapped mine.
