Billet.

I have an 05 Sierra and put a stainless steel billet grill on my rig. Sturdy as hell and, well, its stainless steel.

Seen too many speed grill type grills with dings and dents from road debris and rocks and just one of those in your grill and it looks like crap.

I've had rocks bounce of my stainless and not even a chip or small ding and it fit great (cutout).

Dont have any pics of my new truck or I would post a pic.

Billet.

You can get chicken wire at Home Depot cheaper than Street Scene sells it for.

Either way looks better than stock, but I'm partial to the Speed Scene myself.
