Need a new grill 1998 Suburban

Gmc suburban gray - Yakaz Cars

This what our Suburban used to look like.

Does anybody have any recomendations for a decent looking replacement grill and spacer behind the bumper?

I would also be interested in some headlights.

Links would be appreciated also

I have a grill from my spare 99 GMC Yukon. Not sure what you're looking for as I don't see the pictures you are referring to in your post.

A 99 Yukon grill should work. What color is it?

Or is it chrome?

Depending on where you are located shipping might be a problem. Unless youar between Illinois and Colorado.

I'll try attaching a picture of The Suburban again as well as a Land Rover look grill off EBay and many other sites.

What do you think of that grill? Looks like it comes in many different color combos and hopefully decent headlights. Though I just installed new aftermarket headlights in the Burb.
I've been forewarned that I may not like them even as well as the OEM's

The Land Rover grille is ugly! I've seen a couple in person, I don't know how people put these on their truck & think they look good. I'd definitely stick with the 94 - 99 GMC grille, and not the full chrome one either. I don't really care much for the Chevy grille that's on my Tahoe, when my Chevy grille gets cracked or chrome starts coming off I'll be installing a 94 - 99 GMC grille with a billet grille. Right now I'm spending money on other stuff I don't really need. LOL

If you want the factory look thats in your picture you can get everything you need from mrtailight.com. I swapped a work truck front end on a 95' GMC to the grill that you have a few years back and they had everything I needed. Just had to get a bodyshop to paint the grill surround. They used to sell on Ebay but I don't know if they do anymore. Either way you can order straight from their website.

What??? Are you talking about? The dual headlights ran from 88-89, composites from 90-99, side markers went from 88-93 & changed in 94-99, but the parking lights ran from 88-99. I do belive the 88-89s had a spacer betwen the grille & parking lights to push them out some. If he was to pick up a 94-99 grille for his 98 Suburban all the lights would be the same, Chevy or GMC.
