You guys think it's ok? It's got a pretty good dent in it. Not worried about the grille, I already put a CW billet in.

Wtf was that? I know an old boss of mine had a 18 wheeler lug nut fly off a passing truck and went through his windshield an land in his passenger seat

Just by looking at it, it should still be ok for the time being. If it was any worse than I would say it might be time to replace, but for now, I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Man I have no clue. I saw something shiny come towards me on the highway. I just recently leveled my truck and put 35's so I thought it hit lower (undercarriage). That was of course until I saw my grille. It was definately loud but like I said thought it was hitting the undercarriage.

Alright good. Wasn't really looking forward to coughing up the money for it.

Besides the obvious, the other damage that is done is mental...just knowing that it doesn't look so good anymore could bug the crap out of you.

Looks like it missed the passageways and hit just the fins. If its not leaking it will be just fine.

Tell me about it! I just put my CW black billet grille in and the bars are further apart then I expected. So now you can clearly see the radiator and it's not pretty. I'm thinking about putting some black mesh behind the grille to close it up some.

Good, I appreciate it. Honestly glad it hit that and not my windshield or bumpers.

If possible, I would be interested in seeing what your grille looks like. I am running the stock grille and want something different. Besides CW, I would entertain any other suggestions as well.
