One piece grills...

[08z71tahoe]

I've been looking into putting a one piece grill on my Tahoe and have noticed a couple different options offered on eBay, the t-rex is the one i like the most, but it's $400 and that seems expensive for what it is. I've also noticed about 3-5 other ranging from $180-$350... what are your thoughts on these?

What brand do you have? close up pics?


here are the links to the ones on ebay...

First 2 you have to cut your bumper to install so no returning back. Last grill fits over the stock grill but you deal with the bulge look.

Great topic , I was just gonna ask the same question but about the lexani grill

The lexani one is ok. Reminds me of lowrider mags n dub

I had the 3rd one and got rid of it. My Tahoe is Silver and it just didn't look right and I left it black. I did give it to a buddy of mine that has a black Tahoe and it looks a ton better on his. I actually bought an aluminum front chevy emblem which looked good in the center of the grille. It broke up the large mesh part. Wish I took pics when i had it on.... Good luck

I like the plain look for some reason... if anyone has seen any other options please let me know.

I have another one that you didn't post but it is a no name as well and you have to cut the front bar but looks so good. I almost like it a lot better the the Trex just because the Trex is metal over plastic bumper. Mine is all plastic but looks like it would come from the factory and also has a similar look of the esky grill.

What is the install process on these? Just cut out the entire center section and then bolt in the replacement grille?

 

[Hammer450R]

Trex grills work on clamps, not the easiest grill to install but only took me about 15 minutes to install

3rd option is sitting in the box in my garage. All plastic, bolt over but kind of cheap but inexpensive and easy to switch back to stock. Which is what i did right after installing it. Just didn't look right and you could see through the thing, which looks to be the case for all of these.

How bad is making that one cut?
