ssaman Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 So recently I got promoted to supervisor for the company i work for so my truck kinda got turned into a work truck. So today Tropical storm erin made land fall and of course I still had to work and drive around in it all day. Long story short I had to drive through some flooded areas today and the truck took that well, didnt hesitate or anything. but when I got home I noticed the small grill on the bottom of the front end was missing ( spept away to never be seen again ) and my driver side scoop was ajar. The water pushed so hard on the scoop that one of the screws ripped right thru the body and it was left to dangle. the area that was dangling was rubbing against the paint right near the scoop and scraped a 1inch area down to black. But it could have been worse. I can use touch up paint on that scraped area and put the scoop back but I wonder if Chevy will try and screw me on that grill piece. Will they make me order a whole new grill set up or can I just order the small one by itself. thanks guys, stay dry if you on the Texas coast!

fox_forma Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 if your just talking about the lower mesh grille you should be able to just order that seperately. You could always just get a billet grill in replace of it thats not a bolt over? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brobradh77 Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 glad to see your OK first off. yeah you should be able to get that piece but as suggested you could always buy a billet replacement grill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterp Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 Glad you didn't get carried off! Duct = $125, Grille = $50. Mr. P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssaman Posted August 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 Nah don't worry about me, i'm a lifeguard so if anything i would have been swept away and grabed a few people on the way to higher ground lol. But that good news about the grill being only $50. I salvaged the duct, looks good now. I also used touch up paint on that big scratch and it's hardly noticeable so everything is coming together well. Thanks Mr. P for the grill price! thanks all for your concern, Take care.
