Default which grill to choose

i'm finally ready to take off the factory grill and replace it. problem is...which brands/styles should i buy. the plain billet 30 bar looks good but is also common. the street scene speed grill looks alright. then there's the grills from dj motorsports, but those are kinda pricey. i'm sure there might be more but that's all i know off the top of my head. so what grill do you guys prefer?

I like my stainless Putco "punch" grill. Since you live in Houston, you can pick one up at Motorsport Technologies. They just opened up their own "Sport Truck Division" and have a seperate showroom for truck stuff. This grill costs a little over $100 and takes 10 minutes to install.

MTI is located in west Houston, off Dairy Ashford about a 1/2 block south of Westhiemer.

The "Punch", Billet and "Speed" grills are all priced at $125.

Yes MTI has fair prices. They just opened their "Sport Truck Division". They are performance oriented, but will carry a selection of apperance product. One thing I do know about MTI, is you can expect the best quaility knowledge and products. They also have a selection of 4x4 parts. Give them a call or stop by and check out the new side.

MTI Sport Trucks is an entirely different division from MTI. The new MTI car site will be released most likely Monday. Then I'll get started building a new Sport Truck site.

For now, MTI can get you just about anything you see in those truck magazines. You just need to know what you want and call Chris. They also have quite a few items in their showroom for appearance and such, go by and check them out!
