I am thinking of replacing my factory grill with a aftermarket one and I am curious what people have.

I was thinking of getting a billet grille but I don't like most of what I have seen for a Chevy.
I saw a GMC yesterday witha vertical billet grille that I liked but I don't think the GMC grille will interchange. So I wanted to see if anyone has one of the shiny plastic grilles like this one what people thought of them. I don't know they look a little cheap to me.

Hey Tim
I wasn't impressed with plastic grille inserts either. I installed a Smittybilt billet aluminum grille in my 2003. It fits over the factory grille, so I didn't have to remove anything before I installed it. Even though it was sorta expensive, I think it's worth it.

I had a regular billet grille on my 97 and it required me to jigsaw up my factory grille. If your grille goes over top of your factory grille does it stick out much?

I would really like a vertical one but I can't find one in aluminum all I can find is the wide plastic jobs.

I didn't have to cut anything up. It's flush with wide center grille bar.

Oh, ok it looks good.

IMO an RBP grill is the only one I'd put on a NNBS. That's if you have the $$$ tho.

Does Rolling Big Power make those grills for non HD applications..?

I think the top one looks the best, but am not a fan of the RBP star in the middle. Also, I saw one in the parking lot on Base and noticed that it plainly displayed the factory GMC logo under the grill. Hopefully the guy was just lazy and didn't properly do the install.

@$2,800.00 They can keep their grilles.

I kinda like this grille. But.....it's $716.67 bucks and its only two inserts for the stock grille.

Their aluminum floor mats are pretty tough looking!
