Changing grille & lookin for ideas

I'm going to remove my color matched grille and add some "Bling" to my front end. Can't decide between a stock appearing chrome grille or going with some type of a billet one. Lookin for some ideas... Thanks, Mark.

Re: Changing grille & lookin for ideas

I think it would look really cool if you left the painted grill but added the billet inserts from LMC.
I personaly like the painted grill because it looks nice and also looks different from everyone elses truck.
The only thing is if you add the billet inserts you will also have to do the cable release hood latch mod, but that is really simple and easy to do.

Re: Changing grille & lookin for ideas

I've thought about using a 71-72 grill and using the headlights with the signal built into them. And keep the 67-70 bumper
