grille options?
should I get a billet grille or a bar grille?
I am leaning towards billet, but don't know who to get if from. I had one on my last truck and the black paint took virtually no time to start to chip off, and don't want a repeat of that problem.

I have a Trenz and love it. It has been on for a year and no paint flake at all. Looks good.

I had to make a custom "bracket" out of a block of plastic. Drilled a hole in the middle for the screw, then notched the plastic.

How much for the Trenz grille. And have any of you had the paint chip off of the stulle?
I'll pay extra for one that I know will hold up. The $65 one looks good, but it probably wouldn't be the greatest quality. In my opinion, phantom grilles belong on shaved, lowered trucks, and mine is too stock for that.

$120 at a local place. Stylin concepts carries them.

That top truck is identical to mine, except that it is a SWB.
I got that same Stull grille from Summit for $79 with free shipping.
