Default Billet Aluminum Grille?

I'm thinking about adding a billet aluminum grille to my 96. I posted in V6 tech once before but it got kind of buried (I'm looking for more people to chime in). It will have salad shooter wheels and silver letters in the rear panel, so I think it will tie in quite nicely. I like silver-on-green a lot better than black-on-green. I don't have any pics of my car. It wouldn't do much good to have a pic of a car that currently doesn't have a front bumper . But here's what I'm thinking:



+




Any input is appreciated. Thanks!

I would say no, because you loose the fog lights. Get something that adds you value, instead of subtracting value.

Just pull the plate and let your red Chevy bowtie shine!

WI "requires" them too, but I figured screw it. It would only be a summer car anyway, and I go to school in MI where they aren't required. And yeah, I thought that it would go right over top of the foglights. If I did the grille, I would forget about the front license plate. Adding a new grille then covering it up wouldn't make much sense, would it?

That wouldn't make much sense at all...

CO requires a front plate...it's a $25 fine, 0 point ticket if you don't have one, and I've never been actively pulled over for not having a front plate. If I do get pulled over without it that will just be an additional $25 out of my pocket, I don't think that a cop is ever going to pull me over for not having a front plate. That said, it's also impossible for me to get a $75 red light cam ticket because I don't have a front plate!
