Default Billet Grille & TYC lights for '05?

Have 2 questions here?

The first, is where can I find TYC clear lights for the 03-05 front end? I did an internet search and all im finding is 99-02.

Second: Is there a QUALITY replacement grille with a billet insert molded in? My friend has one from Stull on his 01, but said the finish has deteriated.
Or would I be better off with just a the billet inserts that go over the origional grille?

The reason I'm asking: I smashed the front end of my '05 and while its getting put back together im gonna have it put back the way I want, not the way it was.

Thanks,

Mike

The Trenz grilles can be installed over your factory grille or you can take the time to cut thed factory inserts out and then install the billet units. On the Avalanches we installed them over the grille for time and money reasons. I am more picky and on my 02' we cut out the factory crap since it looks 10x worse than the 05' factory grille. LOL

About TYC lights, why would you want to change them? Your 05' already has clear housings.

Its actually the orange in the corners I want to get rid of. I thought I had to replace the lenses to do it though? Maybe not, the truck is in the shop and I only remembered looking at them once breifly.

Which type looked better? Cut out the origional or put one over it?

I was hoping to get a replacement with the billet part already moled into it like my friend did so the insurance will cover it. However, he is not pleased with his and recomended I choose a different brand, if they even make them for the '05 front end, his was an '01.

Thanks,
Mike
