    I don't dislike them. I just don't think they are worth the enormous amounts of money I see people spend on them. I rather spend a few hundred bucks on something that actually DOES something instead of just looking cool

    I'm for anything that prevents the bugs/pebbles from destroying my AC and coolant radiators. Stockers does a shitty job at that and it really doesn't belong on the "rig"! LOL!!!

    I have only seen 2 in person and they were both Craig's. One was just the mesh and I thought it really added to the look of the truck.

    Don't love them but don't hate them. Wouldn't do one on my truck, though. I blacked out the emblem on my otherwise stock 2013 grille and am very happy with the look -- and price.

    I like Homer Tacos grill's.
    The only chrome I have left on my Sport is the lug nuts. The chrome grille is hideous looking, like the Chevy front end.

    I like this grill, looks clean and goes well with your mods. I can't stand the ones that look like they cut letters out off a cardboard box, then plasti dipped them and let a five year old hang them on the grill.

    I like all the grill types...... Stock, Grillcraft, and Satoshi.

    Having a satoshi makes it harder to mount lights because the grill is recessed where a grillcraft is flush with the outside leaving more room.

    Both do a excellent job of saving your radiator from dings and leaks. OE does not.

    In the end it doesn't matter what you have as long as you like it. I wouldn't bash people for personalizing their trucks as long as the mod has good function and looks.
