feece08 Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 So i put on the new head lights and bumper lights! they look awsome i think. New bowtie sets off the grill def. Im still contemplating painting the grill, i kinda like how it looks with the silver and black, maybe a matte black?? i hate that stupid license plate holder in the front, anybody pull theres off, does it look shity if i do? i.e. with the 4 holes that are in it.

silverado777 Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 (edited) Looks really good. I have the same headlights just not smoked out. Honestly i'd have to see the rest of your truck to make an honest opinion on the grill. If you want to go with the murdered look then that would look awesome. Some people paint theirs. I had mine powder coated. I didn't want it chipping if it got hit by a rock or something. If you are going to leave your grill the I would get a silver bowtie to match. I'd go with the murdered out look imo. Also, is it just me or does parts of your grill look bent?

If you go black then you wont be able to notice it being bent so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diggerdan11 Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 Be careful if you removed the Front Bracket. I had a hard time removing and breaking the rivets that hold it on. I bought some plugs that I painted and put them in there but one of them did not go in flush and it looks like crap. I removed it when I moved from Oregon to Arizona and now that Im back in Oregon I need a front license plate and im thinking about buying another bracket because i hate how the plugs look, but open holes would look worse IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1BAD2K Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Those bars are easy to straighten on the billet grille. Ive done them on cars before and had to use a marker or pen or something to jam in there and open them up a little FYI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
