Well I'm excited I didn't have to wait too long! Grill is here!
This is the one I ordered. I had to order the emblem as well.
Grill

Emblem
http://www.ebay.com/itm/171130449762...84.m1497.l2649

So for $135 Total including shipping its at my house. And wow talk about an easy install. Got it done in 5 min before I went back to work from lunch.

Here is my before



After: Much better. I am just not a fan of the old style grille. Some people maybe, its just not my style. Enjoy!

Thanks I really think so as well. Its close to one I saw driving around a while ago. It looks stock to me, which is what I wanted, plus I have some more Chrome.

Well I have had the front to windows retinted. As the stuff on it when I bought it was starting to wrinkle. So my tint guy did that for me.

Also I got in my new headlights. eBay.

My old ones were starting to have some spider cracking. Nothing to major, just aging the truck.

Enjoy the pics.


Next to come is Katzkin. I should be ready to pull the trigger on that here in the next month or so. I already have a new foam drivers bottom ready to be installed. Mine is fine, I just want it to really feel like new.

Thanks! I actually am glad I went with the darker headlights. I was on the fence about it, but I am glad I did it. About everyone I talk to can't believe my truck has 117k miles on it. That's always nice to hear.

I wanted to go with something close to stock, just modded a bit. At least I like it! I know its not "cool" to have chrome, but I still like the stuff...
