I hear ya!That`s got to be the ugliest grille for that bodystyle.I`ve gotten used to it.Also,it`s kinda counter-SUV lookin`.I have a(used to think they were ugly)4-light 81/82 egg-crate`n`core support for it.I like them now because you don`t see them much,they`re aggressive looking(mines black),and it`ll make it look like the earliest not latest of that f/e design.Can`t find the time though.Yours has come along nicely.I may get a cowl-induction hood if I paint it.If I paint it,I`m thinking flat desert tan,nothing pretty.Plans are to build a winch bumper(w/winch),HD back bumper,and roof-rack.Also,I have a loaded 2wd diesel Suburban that I`m taking the cruise and cloth seats out of.Mine only has the two.One fancy trick feature it`s getting is a 6.2 emblem off the rear of the`86 that has red/6.2 and green/diesel l.e.d. lights in it.A guy in Texas did it on his pickup and I sent him my emblem to do it for me.When I get it back I`ll post pictures.He`s been busy,might be a while.
