Black grilles?
 
Please post pictures of black grilles/bezels. Whether all black or just a part of it black. I'm debating doing it to my 88, but I'm not sure if I want to do the entire thing. Thanks, Bradley

Did mine 3 years ago. I need to touch it up a bit though since it's got a few scrapes and chips in it.
Before.

Thanks, I'm not crazy about stock grills but I figured it wouldn't hurt to try it out. And it helps that my truck is black too.

J Knight.... that 82' grille looks fantastic! Makes the chrome pop out! Much better looking than the 85-87 IMO
