Grilles on white L's
 
My next mods are gonna be some apearance mods so I was thinking of doing a grill next. What grille do you guys think looks better on a white L a polished or satin finish grille? I am also getting a roll pan smoothed bed rails, wiper cowl, side steps and a roll pan.. Lets see some pictures of some white L's with grilles.

Flames are nice

I may break down and do the grills myself someday
but I happen to like clean and mean, and black is good for that.

I am partial to the stock grilles on white.

I've wondered what a gunmatel powdercoated sreet scene speedgrille would look like, or maybe a black billet grill?

I don't like how a billet grill fits on an L, especially the lower grille. Most of the uppers fit well except for some that push up the grill surround.

I had to do a lot of test fitting and trimming to get the lower grill to fit with the same space between the ribs. I have seen a lot of L's that wern't trimmed and uneven spacing. I do agree that the time spent to get it right is worth it.

LatemodelRacer2,
Thanks, I'm glad you like it:beers:

i personally like the billit grills on the 99 and 00, if i had a 01+ id leave the stocker, but i did not like the honey comb grills i had, at first i tried to paint it, but it didnt hold, so i went with the bullit..
