[quote]Staying with the main topic, this is the car we've all been waiting for here in Australia - the HSV Camaro ZL1. Indeed ... could well have been so much smarter had it been designed by someone with genuine flair. Maybe the time has come for a new company calling themselves "Grills of Distinction" (G.O.D.) to open up a new market. Then - much as we look on selecting a nice set of Mags for our pride and joy now - the same can apply to replacing your boring/ugly front grill in the future. To further this idea the company could adopt a 'Blues Brothers' theme which would see those payed to promote/sell the new product to be "on a mission from G.O.D." and customers booking in to have their new replacement grill fitted will thus be making an appointment with G.O.D.[/quote] An interesting notion "mike72" ... but I'd suggest this week doesn't really shape up as a timely occasion to establish anything with "mission from G.O.D." overtones ... however, the practice of grille swaps has been around for some time, my W124 Mercedes E280 actually sporting a more attractive (but non-genuine) period E500 front grille. As for the ZL1, you might want to try one with the 1LE Track Package ... it features significant add-on body components, thus elevating the ugly quotient ... and it also sports a different grille design ! ... mind you, that 6.2 litre supercharged V8 engine bay does require a fair amount of air for various purposes ...
