I have the big chrome mesh looking grille and installed a Putco SS lower grille to help protect the charge air cooler.

I used the same grille after pulling my front plate off - been on for two years now. Only issue I've seen is the screws are cheap and have rusted over.....:

I don't like to see the vertical bars showing thru on the boost bars. Mine are horizontal only and cover more.

I have looked for those before... the ones in stock locally were always too short or just a little too long. And online, no one ever provided the exact dimensions... I say that because the ones I saw in stores had physical dimensions that didn't match their descriptions... maybe they were measuring the light itself and not the housing... anyway, it has probably been two years since I looked. Oh, the only one I found was very cheap and only had a single row of only about a dozen leds in it... I had to pass on that one.

I got this one on Amazon and I was impressed with the quality of it and it had really good reviews. The mounts are able to be repositioned and I widened the holes in the bumper so the bolts would fit and it's been great. Only complaint is the mounting bolts that came with it rusted really quickly, but you can probably just go to the hardware store and match up a better set.
