Big, Don't cheap out. If you want the OEM look then pay and get it right the first time. You won't settle if it's not right.

If you want custom, look elsewhere.

HAHAHA. I thought it might actually do the trick. You are right, if I didnt like it i wouldnt keep it. But I might do the same thing with a $500 grille. I thought it looked kinda good. HOwever, pics installed would be better. I might be the tester for everyone on this.

By the way, i am broke. I spent all my extra pennies this week on 24's and a superchips.OH yeah, about 300 in misc crap for the hoe!

I think it looks close to the oem. With that being said, I would look personally lookinto getting the oem if thats the style your looking forand not a knock off. Look into the GrillCraft SW series. Its just PIMP. Out of the 12k in accessories on the wifes truck its the one item that gets the most feedback.

Damn...thatis a sweet grille e, but $500...come on! That's a little outrageous for a grille. Half that price and you'd have me sold to replace my factory chrome grille.

Grillcraft SW Series grille shown below (stainless steel)...

One thing about getting the $83 one is you decide you don't like it, you're not out a ton of dough.

Besides how many grilles did you try before?

c'mon 3000-4500 for 24's/26's but not 500 for a 1st class quality grille? Also that SW shines like chrome in the sun, which the picture doesnt show........
