Pics of the my new grille

Alrighty, well most of y'all remember I bought a factory GM chrome grille for my truck. i got it put in the other day, and i got my pictures developed.

I'm no photographer, so they mostly suck, but here it goes. Oh and to save time and complaining by 56K users, the rest are at my CarDomain on page 10.

Here's the old grille in the truck.



Here's a comparison of old and new.



And here's one of the new grille installed. I didn't polish the surrounding trim or headlight bezels until a couple nights ago. So now everything is a lot shinier.



sorry if i slowed anybody down with the pictures Like i said, many more at cardomain.

Grille looks real nice. Good job. It looks like you're going to have to change out the color of the front bumber now... maybe a chrome version to match. Nice upgrade.

Now where is that 42" monitor when I need it. J/K

I agree, chrome bumper should be next, along with new front end chrome (lights, trim, etc)!

But that was a big improvement, good job!

Cliffsta, I have an 80 with the same grill and a chrome bumber. When I get home I will post a pic to show you how it all looks toghether (You will just have to squint to change my square headlights into round readlights).

I found this pic at work...this gives somewhat of an idea. I will try and get a headon shot when I get home.
