I like it man. If you like it then keep it, if not, keep trying different things. I think it looks good!

Take the stock bars out, don't paint them. I just did mine last week. I took a wood chisel that was RAZOR sharp and shaved off the attachment points that are melted together. It came off allot easier than I thought it would, took about 10 minutes plus the time to put all the parts back on the truck.
Your new one looks good too!

pull the stock bars instead of painting them. it would look alot better than paint that will eventually chip off and look even worse. you can put the stock "honeycomb" thingy back in it if you ever need to. you billet emblem holds it in place. i had mine like that for a while.

im not to wild about the grille. i really want to see it without the stock honeycomb behind it. it might fix it right up

Looks Good overall!!! I think once you get the 20's mounted It'll look alot better and fill the wheel gap! Dont really like the Euro tails and the tahoe Grill will look better with a billet!IMO BUt you have an A+ truck!

BTW....I'll post up more pics when my ss wheels are done. I'm really looking forward to having them powdercoated and on the truck.

I like it, but I definitely think it would look better w/ the bars behind the insert either removed or blacked out.

Looks good!!! Take out the bars in the grille, though.

Your truck always looks good...it's got a great stance to it I dig the new grille too, it really stands out. I agree about removing the factory fins...I did mine in my kitchen with a dremel (we were living in an apartment, and that's where the best lighting was)
