Re: Which look do you like better?

Seems to me like you have the best of both worlds, you can change them at will. For a nice classic look, go with the top. For a fresh twist that you probably wont see on ANY other classic GM truck, bottom all the way.

Re: Which look do you like better?

I think you should go with the top one! And I'd take that ol vette grill of your hands.

Re: Which look do you like better?

Personally, neither.
To me, the vette grill doesn't match the rest of the truck, and the stock is.... stock.

I'd look for another grill to modify.

Re: Which look do you like better?

That Vette grill is an all time favorite and looks the best out of the two. Another idea would be to expand on the inner grill of the factory one like a narrow version of the custom ones that you see.

esll.
