I have it. It's a PITA to install. Took me several hours but it's the most complimented thing on my truck. It looks very good. Just be sure to get the matching bottom piece to go with it

edit: actually the top part is the only hard part to install. I could install the bottom part in five minutes if i had to now.

I like the top one but then again I can't view the bottom pic, not your fault just the network I'm on won't allow it through. (deployed) I would go with the initial one you inquired about, it looks nice and clean. I say "Do It..."

I bought one of their 5-piece grilles back in 2005. It's well built, but the little bars are not evenly spaced. It always bugged me, but no one else seemed to notice.

With a power screw driver, it was a snap to install all the bolts and butter-fly nuts. The hard ware they sent was just regular old interior house hold stuff and not weather proofed. You may want to spray the stuff down with BBQ grill paint or Aluma-Hyde II to keep it from rusting.

I think the bottom one looks better. I don't care for the short bar at the top of the grill in the first picture.

I prefer the bottom one because it covers the whole grille opening, unlike the top one where it still has the black plastic honeycomb surround.
