I found it on ebay. I like it look better than the gmc one and looks different from the OEM one. I don't know how the fitting will be,
but I bought it.will post pic once it's on as well.

Repost.

As I remember, fit is crap, along with the styling it gives. Unfortunately im not sure what search terms will yield you the best results. Im sure other will chime in.

yeah I saw few different types. and last post I saw here was different one I thought.

otherone I didn't like. and also there is one now looks like gmc grill but no big gap on the bottom of parklight. that i didn't like much either.
well it's ok I had something on my mind and this can be there til that's done and see which one I like....

I seen a grille like this on a tahoe in Austin. it looked ok I guess but the rest of the truck looked like hell IMO, every chrome aftermarket piece of anything was on this truck. lol there was even big chrome strips running down the back doors with a huge belt buckle in the middle of both of them. it was the funniest looking tahoe I have ever seen but the grille did look ok and it seemed to look like it fit fine.

don't worry I don't think I'm gonna go that far out on chrome......
I'm more tryng to blck out the tahoe. so I"ll beeven painting the gas door as well. and tinting the tail lights etc.

I just wanted to see how it looks like and definatly, I'm not putting that on the way it is... of course some part will be painted.

if I don't like it I can always go back or play with this one and modding that grill.

this one does look like ford grill though If I look at it long enough LOL

yeah it kinda does stick out like o ford grille if you have seen it on a truck. Iyour tahoe will look good blacked out.

Yeah blacked out that grille would look pretty sweet.

tahoehtp
03-09-2007, 08:30 AM
yeah I first I'll take the pic without black it out.
then I'll take another for black it our the sides leaving center chromed.
then see if I want to go with all black out or not.
which probably will happen since it's me...

03-09-2007, 11:12 AM

I think I'm gonna paint just around lights leave the center as is.
and if I don't like it I'll paint everything and leave inner part of grill chorme.

I think because the pic I saw he had clear corner etc and all chrome as well. that made it really tacky.

after I put it on yesterday my buddies actually liked it. they also said looks better than was on the pic and I think those black healights, parklense and corner lights =kinda helping tame off that tackyness a little...
I don't know but I like it actually as well.

Sorry man but that thing is just hideous!! :puke:

The blackout grill in your sig was the perfect look IMO.

03-14-2007, 09:11 AM
yeah more box look no smooth rounded corners and line in the middle just look like combined the gmc grill and chevy one together.

I do like my old grill too but I wanted something different. I guess it's just me.

I think blacked out will work with that grille, if that's your plan...

I was thiking about blacked out all except where inner part (like where bilet inserts are) chrome. or opposite. blackout that and leave rest chromed.
or jsut paing the side where above and between lights painted black.

well see how it all goes. really.

I thought It was going to look gay, but hey it looks pretty good man, dont let other people discourage you. I'd almost leave it how it is, it goes good with your headlights/parking lights. Maybe paint all of it except the middle like you said, but only if its done right or it will look cheap.

post a pic from a front corner angle.
I think the full front view doesn't give it proper justice.
I like it, mostly b/c I've never seen it before.
I agree black on the sides will change it.

tahoehtp
03-14-2007, 02:48 PM
yeah I'll take one from another angle.
but right now all the guys from club is leave it as is.
and I'm still thinking blacked out sides.

hey everyone has opinion that's fine that's how people are. that's what each individual unique and call it as individual.

Well, it fits better than I thought it would. Aftermarket **** usually has hideous gaps.

Umm... I am not sure what to think of it. I think for originality it's cool. Does remind me of a ford and that's annoying. Maybe if you paint all the chrome except the billet grille part it'll be tight.

Is the grille plastic also or metal?

do you have an angled pic of the grille like the one in my sig? maybe angled a little more than my sig?

lol, worst edit ever!!! :bash: I'll just wait to see if when you actually paint it.

yeah I'm still thinking, since it's going to snow again! in NY to night. I'm not going to able to paint prob til sunday.

I took angle shot but forgot cable at office so I'll post it when I get to office.it's plastic and it fit perfectly just like OEM one.

it does stick out after I look at it more.

Wow, I somewhat liked it from the front, but from the side that things ugly. I would have gone with a painted black GMC grill with billit, thats the best looking grille for OBS in my opinion.

The best looking grill is the way you had it in your sig.Please put it back that way,please..:).

03-15-2007, 05:04 PM
Yea I was hoping that'd be tight, but how it sticks out is driving me nuts.

Just sell it to so some highschool kid for $50 more than you bought after telling them you saw it on Pimp My Ride

TahoeHTP... maybe you should get a grille witha shaved chevy emblem or a phantom chevy grille.
