How does this look?
I just want a second opinion on the grill, not my truck.

Re: How does this look?
I like Gmc grills, but they have too much chrome IMO

Re: How does this look?
Not a fan of the blacked out section. One of the best things about the GMC grills is all the chrome

Re: How does this look?
Go with the base white or chrome. Don't like the blackout or any of the body color matches I've seen. Besides that is a lot of flat black to clean bugs off of.

Re: How does this look?
It looks like it needs a grille. The black just blanks it out. I think I'd either paint it a metallic grey,like rallye wheels or red to match the body.

Re: How does this look?

Re: How does this look?
even tho you told me not to, I say that truck is really nice. I think if you like the grille I like the grill for you. Everyone has their thoughts on what makes the truck look good, that is why they make chocolate and vanillia ice dream. The grille can change the whole personallity of the truck . I think if chrome is not an option because of availibility or cost ,argent would be my next chioce followed by body color[but the monchrome thing is on its way out]. The black like stated above almost makes the grill disappear from the pic we are looking at. But like I said if you like it I like it for you it is an awesome truck im my opinion

Re: How does this look?
your truck looks too nice for that grill IMO, go with a chrome grill.

Re: How does this look?
Yep, stick with the chrome. Polished up real good there is nothing like that big wall of chrome rolling down the road. I even have one in my living room
Noxon 7 will shine it up real good!

Re: How does this look?
I agree with the chrome look of the GMC grilles. The black only looks good on the 71-72 inner grilles. IMO

Re: How does this look?
I like Chrome, but that one that 67 cheby posted looks great, so I guess it depends on the truck.
