I am looking at buying one. Is there different places that make them? Who in here actually has one that they could post some pics of? Links would be great as well. Pros and cons would also be appreciated.
Thanks you guys

I would also like to know where I would get one, how much it would cost, and how hard it is to see at night with one on. They sure look cool!

chevyguy_72 · 10-17-2005, 01:51 PM

someone has to have one or know someone that has one on here and might know a little more. Any info would be great

chevyguy_72 · 10-18-2005, 05:03 PM

ok those are good options. Does anyone have one and could testify to light output?

raidermanny · 10-18-2005, 08:13 PM

Don't really care around here. Cops don't mess with stuff like that, but when i leved in Denver i got pulled over once just because my window tint was too dark. I have had mine way darker than illegal here for over a year and no one even looks twice(knock on wood)

chevyguy_72 · 10-19-2005, 04:02 PM

wasn't there a member who posted about his truck making it into a mag a few weeks ago that had one of these? Seems like the truck was red. I went back almost a month and did not see it but i do remember it.

cdowns · 10-20-2005, 05:29 PM

if you get that style grill also figgure on a remote hood opening device unless u have very small hands

lotik · 10-20-2005, 06:05 PM

my grill is made by Trenz. its a pain in the ass to put in. i bought a brand new shell and you have to hack it all up. the mounting brackets don't work, and the headlight relocation kit is horrible. but......... it looks bad ass.

its not street legal, but who cares.

thanks for that one.

What all comes with the grill? Just the grill? What about headlight relocations kit etc..?
Is it difficult to keep up with the polished one or is it pretty low maint.?

lotik · 10-22-2005, 08:57 PM

the kits are there if thats what you want to call them. poor engineering on trenz part, so you have to work with what you got. the instructions are worthless. there is a lot of cutting and grinding. good luck.

chevyguy_72 · 10-24-2005, 07:06 PM

i ordered it today
$347 shipped off of www.everythingoffroad.com
for the polished model.
This place is the cheapest i have found it by almost $60
they said probably 3 weeks though. Trenz did not have any in stock. trenz told them 7 to 14 then i figured a week to ship
