POST your-1997-1998 Grille Pictures!

Thanks 1badgmc. That was quite an interesting little history lesson. I need to come hang out with you guys and maybe some of your spare parts will make it onto my truck!

Thanks! Nice grille pic!

Here's the grille on my new (to me) '97 Tahoe. It's also the '94-98 GMC style without sidemarkers (like the one truck 1badgmc posted). Trying to decide if I wanna add a black bowtie to the grille.

Looks good. The shaved sidemarkers look better on the black than on my friend's silver. I vote no bowtie, though.

Thanks. Yeah, it seems to flow a little better with the dark color for some reason. The hood-to-grille gap on his seems to need a little adjustment as well. I'm surprised the fitment on mine is so snug, which we all know can be a pain with aftermarket stuff compared to original. Which brings me to question, is this grille even available anymore? I'm not 100% positive but was thinking AIM made them back in the day.

by the way, here's some different looks from my old truck:

'94-98 Chevy painted grille shell w/ phantom billet inserts, polished billet bowtie, & diamond clear sidemarkers:




Factory '94-98 Chevy chrome grille, polished billet bowtie, & frosted clear sidemarkers:

[quote=4ofakind;4646089]Not mine but I love these two examples. Are they still available some where or have they gone the way of the dinosaurs?

AIM made a '94-'98 Chevy grille that came with shaved corners and shaved bowtie, but I don't recall ever seeing a ready-made GMC grille with shaved corners.

Ah yes, I do recall that now. Guess that's what I was thinking of!
