So for the past couple of weeks I've been considering doing this. Using that LTZ grille where the tow hooks are. I also cant find any inserts for it. So I guess I would have to cut up one and some how make it fit. Any ideas how? I photoshoped how it may look. Any commets. Good or bad let me know.

Looks pretty good. You can probably find an entire new grille with the tow hook covers on eBay for the price of an OEM LTZ griille I would think?

Get a grille outline it. Leave a little extra on the sides. Then you mount the grille from the back side of the bumper. Prob need a small screw maybe a washer to help hold it. Worth taking a look at.

If you have a hand grinder you can use that with a cut off wheel on it.

Just an idea what ya think?

I would like it a lot more if someone would make inserts that

1. are made with the same, OEM mesh

2. use the same "surround"/border as the OEM grill, and sit flush like the factory ones.

I also wish that someone would make a piece with the aforementioned qualities that would fill the license plate area (for those of us who don't need to run a front plate).
