Phantom Grilles

i was just wondering do phantom grilles require you to mess with your headlights (recessing) or anything like that.

I didnt think so but i was looking at a site on the internet and it said it may require headlight recessing. But that was the only one that i have seen said that.

I think I'll just keep my stock grill which is held on by twist ties. It looks good but if I were to change it I'd put an 88-91 grill on it because I'm not much of a fan of the billet grills.

The 88-91 grilles are way cool. Everyone has a billet grille it seems like these days.

Ok guys, play nice.

I'll stick with the round headlights. They may not be as bright, but I just like the older style.

www.cheyennepickup.com has them. I'll eventually put one on mine too. But I'm keeping the bowtie in the middle.
