Ideas on getting a new Grille

STINSAN3 · March 13, 2013

Since mine has a little crack in it, instead of replacing it. I thought about getting a new blackout grille.....I saw on another forum like a month ago, but I can't seem to find it now.

I was thinking on something like this....
Opinions?

No!

No!

What would you recommend?

Personally not a fan of those.. might look better on the truck I guess. If i were you, Id go with a colormatched grill. even with the chrome piece of the bumper expose it would look great with those wheels

you can always upgrade to the 12-13 split grill too. All depends on what you want to spend

i cant remember where I seen it, but you can buy them already painted.. ill dig into it a bit

I'm strongly thinking about a colormatched one.

Thanks man, if you can find it for me!

I like the color matched grille that comes on the 2012 ltz. That's my next purchase.

That would be my suggestion as well. Had to get back to my laptop to look at your truck a little more before responding. You'll need to do the bumper cap too though to make it work.

13 "split-style" grille or the actual LTZ grille?

cparks555 · March 14, 2013

I like the LTZ a little more than the split style, but both look good IMO.

I really like the grille with the split middle bar on my 2006, all the new trucks I've seen with it look good too. Check out Jerry's (K3LA-6.2?) new truck with the split color matched grille and bowtie. Looks really good IMO.

Thanks, I can't seem to locate him?

Here is a how to post he made for colormatching the bowtie, it has some pics of the truck in it as well.

I swore there I seen these a lot cheaper somewhere.. with actual pictures of the painted grille. If i come across it i'll post it. Wonder how close this is to actual dealer pricing?

Sorry, but IMO, that E-bay jobber wouldn't look good at all. I'll second the color matched grill option. Personally, I'd try to duplicate the look of the 2012-2013 Z71 appearance package. Those look sick in all black.
