67 Grille Ideas --Please Vote--

*Edit* Multiple selections allowed...

I have a 67 front clip (68 fenders) for the Tahoe thanks to stllookn and I've been tossing around some ideas for what I want to do with it. Some of these combos have been done, some I haven't seen. I've narrowed it down to a few that I like, but I thought it would be fun to get the board's input. So here they are (thanks to LMC for the base image):
  1. Stock
  2. Shaved Letters
  3. Shaved Letters and Bowtie
  4. Shaved Letters Bowtie and Parking Lights (turn signals built into headlamps)
  5. Shaved Letters Bowtie and Parking Lights + Foglight Bumper (turn signals in Foglights)
  6. Same as 5 + Bowtie





... Also keep in mind that those straight-on shots make the grille look flat/plain, but there is the peaked center:

Re: 67 Grille Ideas --Please Vote--

mine is like #2 with just shaved letters. Any way you do it, it will be sweet, but I like #6 the most with the lights in the bumper and the emblem still on

Re: 67 Grille Ideas --Please Vote--

#4 but needs a shaved and Foose'd bumper meaning it needs the license plate area removed. It really depends on what the theme of the rest of the truck will be as well. If its smooth then smooth front, or vise versa.

Re: 67 Grille Ideas --Please Vote--

I forgot what its called, but you can cut the top of the bolts off and weld them to the bumper for a smooth look. I saw this done on Trucks.

I like the way it looks, but I think I may do it some day so it wouldn't be cool if a lot of peeps did it
