Just as it came from factory! I have always thoght the 65 had one of the best grill designs of all the Chevelles. The other is the 69 grill!:thumbsup:

I would vote no. Maybe black out the verticle uprights to make it appear like more of long horizontal lines. It's hard to improve on the factory scheme IMO

x2. '65s do have one of the best looking grilles of all the years, but my opinion is biased...

The Z16 look is blacked out except the horizontal center bar. The others are as described above

I did the blacked out version on the Elky and I like it a lot - but to each his own. I decided I wanted a car like they should have offered in 65. With the white paint, it is a nice contrast.

Put some black tape on the vertical areas. If you like it great, otherwise you can pull the tape back off.

This is my black out version. Thought it is a nice contrast to all the white and chrome.

SS only for the black grill. Let your chrome shine on the Camino, JMHO.
