Billet Grill arrived and installed with Pics..

[WT]

Well after UPS's screw up my billet overlay grill and lowers arrived today and what timing, I just finished washing the truck today after months of dirt. I was able put its winter wax/sealer coats on today too and must say this CM is just huge, so glad I have a porter cable polisher to aide me.
Well I went with a overlay so I wouldn't have to cut anything out of the stock grill and can always revert back to stock if needed. I am still not sure if I like the look yet, debating on maybe painted the polished edges black but I think its starting to grow on me. Also by having the color match grill the center parts are black already so it does not show through the billet grill as much. I picked up the grill from ebay at just about $100.00 shipped to my door, so its not a bad price. I got to say the mounting clips sucked as I think I heard other say too. I flipped them backwards and that worked better so I went with that and got it all installed this afternoon.

On to the pics cause I know thats what everyone likes here....

After:


Put my spare emblem I did the hyperblack look to it to see what it looked like:


Don't think I like that look so I am glad I scraped that idea if you saw my previous posts about it.

Well decided to do a quick photoshop to see what the grill would look like if I did black it out, not to sure I like that look or maybe its just me.
Whats everyone else think ?

Hi there,
I like the billet grill. I like the alum. look better I think. I have a question for you. The inlay obviously fits around the emblem in the front. Does the emblem fit flush with the grill or is the emblem recessed at all? The pictures make it hard to tell. I am looking for options and accessories for my 07.

Looks tight. Bolt over or grill replacement?

It is pretty close to flush but still bubbles forward a tad less than 1/4".

Yes it bolts on top (thus a overlay) of stock grill no cutting or replacment.

I got mine from this seller but I am sure there are plenty of others too...
Sad to see them charge more for shipping that the actual parts but guess that way they save some money with the ebay transaction costs. Don't hold me responsible for any bad transactions on ebay buy at your own risk. , This seller did have the best prices I saw for all 4 pieces (grill and lower 3).

Yeah I like it on most other colors but not 100% sold on what it looks like on a Blue Streak.... maybe one day I will do it unless someone already done it and has pictures to share.

Check his other auctions out his got a few with different shipping costs this ones half..... Canada looks like it adds $20.00 to standard shipping cost but you may want to ask before placing order in case I read it wrong.

I think the photoshop black grill looks really good. Maybe even do the black grill with the chrome emblem? I'm not a big fan of chrome, so I'm trying to find inexpensive ways to get away from it on mine.
