Default New Billet Grille

My mom bought me a billet grille for Christmas for my 01 Silvy and I installed it this morning. Besides being the biggest pita to install, I LOVE it. I've seen some that install over the factory egg-crate grille but this one required me to cut that part completely away from the center bar. Anyways, here's a pic. Later guys, merry Christmas!

Thanks fellas! It had the Street Scene Speed Grille when I bought it and it looked ok, but I REALLY just wanted a billet set. After a polished bowtie, the grille will be done. Thanks again guys.

Thanks guys! It's an APS off of eBay that's polished on the face and powdercoated black on the tops/back/sides. I'd love to colormatch the front but someone told me that you couldn't paint the textured bumper cap and lower valance and I don't want to spend the extra $ on Tahoe parts to re-paint. Can the lightly textured cap and valance be smoothed and painted without worrying about the paint chipping or falling off?
