Re: Which Grill?
Yeah, keep the bowtie grill and the headlight buckets need to be the body color. To me, the black headlight buckets always looked like an afterthought. It's a matter of preference I guess, but I like mine the body color. 89 RS, 305 TBI, 700R4. T-Top, 60k original miles, Fowmaster exhaust.

Re: Which Grill?
I'm a fan of the black buckets and black grill with red bowtie. It helps to have the black stripes to pull it all together.

Re: Which Grill?
Hey will the 89-92 Louvered grille fit the 85-88 cars. I cannot afford to spend $300 on fog lights (why are they so expensive) and cannot find aftermarket fog lights to fit the bracket. So I like the louvered look but like the 85-88 look better. So has anyone done this install? Let me know before I go buy one. Thanks to any and all that reply.

Re: Which Grill?
You can also do something like I did...
I made a bowtie out of very thin aluminum and install it over top of the factory bowtie.....just something a little different
