I was tired of the big chrome billet grille on my Denali so I went with a much meaner look IMHO . Check it out guys and let me hear your opinions... before and after pics below

Tough call...they both look good...pick up a set of smoked bumper lights like I have for added effect...maybe do the lower grill as well....

I blacked out my grille shell and added the lower one and it totally gave the front end an overhaul ;)

I really like your front end! Where'd you score those bumper lights and how much?

Hell yah.. Thanks a ton! I followed your link and found a set for $21! Are your headlights black to match or just the clear ones?

That's great...my headlights are still the factory clear w/ projectors. Wanna make sure I'm gonna stick with this look before I change those too.....I may go back to a chrome grille down the road and go with clear bumper lights and switchback LED's.....

Hopefully one day down the road I can do F.I. on mine....I bet its fun ;)

Way better IMO but it's not like I'm biased or anything ;) you should paint the bars behind the grille. I'm yet to pull mine off and do it. Looks great though

Hahah yah not biased at all. Thanks! Yah I pulled mine off and did that the day after. Much better now. I also blacked out my driving lights with the exception of the round circle part of the light. Looks sick

Looks way better bro.. i do like the billet, but the black looks a lot cleaner and meaner.. Nice on the blacked out bumper lights too, you have to match the headlights man. You would be crazy not to keep this look. Here are what the blacked out depo headlights look like. On yours, all black would look sick IMO.

Tucson looks good, where did you get your headlights. I found some on eBay but the have the halo and LEDs which I'm not to fond of. Do you have a link for headlight and bumper lights?
