Default Installed my new "punch" grill today - PICTURE

MTI just opened up their new "Sport Truck Division" today and they have alot of cool accessories on display in the newly built showroom. I saw this hole punched grill on the wall and bought it <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

It was simple to install, just 4 allen head stainless screws and some hooks that grab the stock plastic grill from behind. The grill is made of high polished stainless steel, so it will never rust or dull out.

I'm glad MTI stocks and sells truck accessories and performance parts now, so I can shop for both of my vehicles in the same building haha.

ah! very nice; same thing i was going to do with mine, (paint the "GMC" black) but i couldnt find that grille anywhere and the dealer wanted $300+ for it...so i settled with a billet.

this looks very pimp!! <img border="0" alt="[pimp]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_pimp.gif" />

This one is only a little over $100 from MTI.

Looks really good! I'm think about a speed grill similiar to Fast4.8's when I save a few $$$. I need to take some pics since I removed the emblems and finally painted that *@!#$* bowtie black. I was surprised how much difference those two "almost" free mods cleaned up the truck.

P.S. - Some of us "not local" <img border="0" alt="[whiner]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cry.gif" /> guys might put in orders if MTI would update their site to include the trucks.

The completely new MTI site will be released in a week. That one is about 3 years old. This new one does not include trucks either. That will be the next site I build for them, www.MTISportTrucks.com is what the address will be when I am finished with it.

For now, you just need to call them if you see just about anything in a magazine you like. They can just about get anything you see in magazines for our trucks.
