Haha got to look! I got lucky, guy had another one but was all dented up on the front.

Seen that truck before, its a clean little regular cab.
Up here they're gold. 400 unpainted and dented with rust.

If you're lucky enough to find one. People always asking to buy my HD grille, even more rare.

Yeah they are hard to find here too. A lot I have found were at least 300+ and then the grille just as hard to find. I will probably end up with one from ebay.

Well ordered a new hd bumper pad and grille for the Tahoe. Bumper pad came in tonight and The company selling the grille informed that there last one had damage so they refunded me the money and I will have to order from somewhere else. Put the pad on and took some pics. Hopefully the hood should be done this week as well.

Too bad you're not close. I'd buy the upper pad and paint it blue, just like @Fosscore's:boobs:.

Thanks! the Marquis is fun to nice to drive compared to the truck every day.

The f350 has the same lift on it just different size tires actually. But I agree taller is better lol

Small update friend of mine shipped me a billet bowtie for the hd grille. HD grille had to be re ordered cause the one I had ordered was the last one and damaged. So new one should be here Monday and still waiting on the hood to be done at paint.

Damn, having a hard time with that grill.

Yeah this time I ordered it from anther seller and it arrived damage unlike the previous one was damaged before they shipped it. The right half of the grille was broken off, the "arm" you could call it. Messaged the seller and said I'd like for them to ship another.

was bought off of ebay.

Your delivery guy must not like you! If you don't have to send it back, maybe JB weld it, then dip it. A spare!

The seller responded, they are sending a new one along with a return shipping label so this one will be going back. If I didn't have to return it I was thinking about gluing it and maybe color matching it to see what it would look like.

Believe me, it would look like crap plus be weak. There's no way to fix plastic when it gets snapped in half like that; it's not even a clean break.

They call it a wing i think not an arm,same with the silvys lol

Anyway that's exactly how I broke mine. No fixing it, I threw my entire grille away, cause I broke it myself:oops:
I had mine off because I was getting ready to colormatch.
