opinions on grilles!
 

I have a 1982 gmc sierra and was thinking about going with installing a phantom grille. I also like the stock look, but would like to know what other peoples opinions are. If you think I should keep it the way it is or buy something different?

Personally im not a huge fan of the phantom grills unless its on some slammed custom or something. If it were me I'd probably find a newer GMC grille, I like the years with the turn signals in the bumpers but the grilles that went with them are a little rough on the eyes.

Yeah i kinda was also thinking the billet grilles to. Im doing a 4/6 drop in another two weeks. I would have already had it done but summit sent me the wrong kit twice now.

anyones else want to chime in?

Phantom grilles were the thing to have few years back and if you are going for that older BOYD style then it goes well. The trend now is usually a stock looking retro. Stock appearing with wheels and a drop. Its your truck, do as you like. Just dont paint it pink with daytons. LOL

I love my phantom grill, its looks nice and clean on our squares IMO

I think that I am going to get the phantom i havent seen two many that have the turn signal in the bumper with the phantom grille combo. I usually see them with the trun signal in the behind the grille itself.

I went to phantom at first it lookds AWESOME but then I realised there is something missing and yes the angry look of the GMC is missing so I removed it and sold the grille and later saw the billet grille it was much better if the headlight bezels were grey

compromise! leave your stock headlight trim on & go with a billet grille, luv the look of mine. in fact so does gm, check out the stock grille on my '90 stepper, very similar design.

I think that im going to do this i like the billet grilles the most. and would like to mostly keep the gmc symbol on the front. Whats the best site to order these? Do you have any pics of one?

Get the phantom grille and store the stock one in the attic. When you get tired of the new one, put the stocker back on. I'm not a big fan of aftermarket grilles cause none of 'em let you run the chevy logo. Just doesn't look right without it.

Keep the 82 grille, there aren't too many 81-82's around anymore.

My 83 with chrome bezels.

Ohhhhh that front end is sooooo sexy!!!:metal::metal:
I think Im going to go with the phantom and Ill hold on to the stock grille. Im doing a 4/6 drop in two more weeks so this should fit the apperance when completed.

Re: opinions on grilles!
 

Personally, I think the phantom grille looks like crap.

Re: opinions on grilles!
 

Where did you get your lights and grill?

Not a fan of billet grilles or phantom grilles. My vote is keep the stock grille.

Re: opinions on grilles!
 

I think that the are all good looking grilles just the phantom and billet are sexier.

Re: opinions on grilles!
 

Thats the best shot I could find of mine, its an 81 with phantom grill. So you can get an idea of what the grill and bumper with turns looks like.
