G5 Front grill

Ok, so my car is completely debadged, tinted out all around including windshield, i just got vent visors and new headlights with the projectors and such. I want to do something with the front grill though... I've looked around to see if there's anything aftermarket for the G5 grill and there isn't really anything. It looks to be different then the cobalt grill in that it's not part of the whole bumper. Any suggestions on what I could do to make it that bit different from all the other ones. I'd also like to remove the Pontiac emblem from the front. I was thinking of cutting out the vents and the divider then putting almost like a custom billet grill in it. Suggestions?
Also I'm debating debadging my windows to. It currently rocks a window banner and two side decals. I'm going to retint my 3rd brake light soon as right now it also comes up reklessracing.net when the brake light is applied. I want to remove it and make it all smooth.
I want a CLEAN look. Not a ricey look or anything like that.

Future appearance mods will be:
rims and tires
and possibly a GT front and rear bumpers and side skirts.

This is my car currently.. minus the headlights and vent visors...

Paint it like I did.

Also, Figure Engineering makes custom grills. There's another company that makes some too, but they're expensive.

Come to G5club. There's a lot of good info for us there.

My grill...

I painted them with Krylon fusion, topped with some clear. Turned out perfect.

I have a black vinyl overlay on my front badge too. I'll see if I can find a pic...

EDIT



The vinyl in that picture sucked, and I cut it bad, so I redid it. It's perfect now.

24designs.net also sells replacement badges for the front.

Niteshades is a light tinting spray. If you want to paint it just use paint.
