Thanks man. When you do install, do you think you can reply with fitment? I don't see why it wouldn't bolt right up. But in the event that it doesn't.

 

I will maybe I’ll get it on today.
Wife is giving me the look!
Says now I know why you took the day off says is that box for your truck!

So the wife went to work and I went to the beer store!
Then I put it on.
I’m happy with it the corners are a little high pics 4&5.
I’m gonna swap the panel clips out and nut and bolt it another day.
It didn’t come with weather strip have to use yours.
I see an Andres devil horn emblem and sport headlights in its future.

 

what is a winter weather? 90 degrees over here.

 

we started the advisory with 6-8 inch’s of snow. The advisory was for snow not cold. We ended up with it dropping to 1-3”.
Here in Vt it’s nothing really, winter is ending. We see below zero often a nor’easter can dump 18+ inch’s.
This winter wasn’t bad for snow but we had 10-15 below for awhile.

 

That's what i'm talking about. I have the pro grille, my letters are about the same color as the MGM so it would look great, I also plan on getting blacked out headlights at some point. Looks better to me in my opinion. Thanks for the pictures.

 

I’d have preferred flat but I’m glad the chrome is gone!

 

LOL only 1 left on Amazon site now.

 

They are sold out now.

had 8 when I ordered mine

 

I should’ve ordered one when you said one left

 

crap you didn’t get one?

 

No I was still trying to figure out the weather stripping ordeal. But it’s all good. I’m sure they’ll either go back in stock or I can find a different place to get it from. But I’m glad you got yours man. Looks nice.

 

I reused my weather strip.

These are the clips holding them.

thanks man
Good luck with yours!!

 

Hey MikefromCT, grill looks great! Did you remove the chrome from your existing grill, or buy a new one? If you removed it, I'd love to know what method you used

 

I found one at the wrecking yard and had it repainted same color but fresh with no scratches. Before… After…

 

Hey, I had bought a sport grill which comes color matched. I swapped out the chrome surround for the color matched one and gave away the chrome/sport grill to someone local.

 

Not sure what was done in the photos, but when I did my BHLM I stripped the chrome off of those parts by using EZ-Off over cleaner. You just spray it on, let it sit for about 10 minutes, and rinse it off with a garden hose. Some spots took 2 applications but it was really easy. SO much better and faster than sanding, and it gets into the nooks and cranies where sandpaper can't reach.

 

Did you separate the surround from the gill?
