New grill!

[Hammer450R]

Ok i went off the beaten path and tried this type of 1 piece grill.

It is the only 1 piece grill that doesnt involve cutting the stock bumper. Install was a breeze.

What does everyone think? Am i keeping it or ditching it? Honest opinions too no powder puff answers lol

The opening looks too big for the tahoe. Almost like something is missing...

 

[tiabella]

I have to agree.

Saw one with a bowtie in the middle, broke it up a bit looked pretty nice.

I'm gonna keep if real Hammer. I say revert back to stock.
Something about those plastic one piece grilles looks cheap to me.
BlackedOutLT3s grille ended up looking pretty good, but yours looks different from his.

 

[CHOO CHOO]

No offense, but if reminds me of a ford front end. I think something in the middle would offset it like previously said, but I would switch back IMO.

 

[07Burb]

I kinda like it

post a side profile pic of the "buldge"...from the front it looks great, from the side um not so much. Plus you can see the stock "powerbar" behind it...not good...only way to make that style grill to look right is to cut...IMO

 

[Hammer450R]

lol, all these answers are exactly where im at!

Its too big, changes the whole front, etc. but i kinda like it lol

Whats nice is i can go back to stock, i didnt have to cut anything like all the other 1 piece grills.
@Modded, what kind is yours and how was the fitment? I never saw any close ups.
BlackedOutLT3s comes to a V at the bottom, which i was trying a different look. I wanted a more straight line like stock.

Hammer, mine is a T-rex. Here is a close shot.
It did not line up all the way to the bottom of the hood but I like it as it is.

I like the black stock one better...........

I don't like how you can see all the way through it to the support brackets and stuff.

That's a down side to all black grilles. You can always see right though them unless they have very fine mesh like some of the Asanti and Strut grilles.
You would be able to see through chrome grilles too, but they are so shiny that the eye can't focus on what is behind. My onld grille is a good example of this.

 

[boudreaux]

It's not bad, but I do prefer the stock look better.

 

[madodger88]

I like it mostly. I have one sitting in the garage waiting for me to paint match and install it. I think the only issue is the larger holes between the cross pattern allows you to see too much of what's behind and under the hood. I think i'm going to try and find something at the hardware store to put as a backing on the grille to alleviate that issue.

Otherwise its a nice change and like you said, can still revert to stock whenever you like

 

[Hammer450R]

How do you think it would look if i painted the mesh flat black?

 

[Modded]

....... I think I'm going to try and find something at the hardware store to put as a backing on the grille to alleviate that issue........

Don't put anything but some type of mesh behind it when you do install or it could lead to overheating issues due to lack of air flow to the radiator.

I think it is better as is, than flat. The reason is there is nothing else on your Tahoe for a flat black grille to match.

looks sick
