Need y'alls opinions

I am thinking of changing up the grill on the truck to get rid of some of the "bling"
Let me know what you think.

Option 1 stay as is:


Option 2 85-87 Grill painted to match the truck but the SS trim stays polished and the bowtie will be painted green as well:


Option 3 Billet grill insert

Option 4 Phantom Billet Grille

Nice truck. I would black the grille/headlight bezels out and leave the bowtie green. Less is more.

Re: Need y'alls opinions

I'd black out the whole grill, or a phantom grill.

Re: Need y'alls opinions

What I did with my '86 was option 2 without the green, so far I'm liking it.
Kept the strips and the bowtie as it came.

Black out the 81-82 grill you have now with a green bowtie.

Re: Need y'alls opinions

I already have an 85-87 grill and the reason I am leaning that way is bc I don't have an 81-82 bumper so I am trying to install the parking lights instead of zip tying them to the grill. But I also like the billet grills
