Paint the speed grille black to match the body. Thats what I would do! Debadge too of coarse. I have a buddy who smoked his front headlights just abit. Looks cool if you wanna go for the murdered look.

Im not really going for the "murdered out" look. Just wanted a black truck with some nice contrast of gray/silver tones. Which i found with this speed grille.
Next is probably put back the black GMC logo and will definitely de badge

How'd you colormatch the front bumper? Did you sandblast it first and then paint it or did you powder coat it?
I was thinking about powder coating but I dont know how close powder coat matches to the factory paint...?
Truck looks great man! I like the wheels!

I got my Speed grille in and I still don't see why I can't at least cut out some of the factory grille. What I'm thinking I may try is cutting out all the horizontal strips and leaving just the verticle ones. I'm going to try this weekend, I'm also colormatching the bumpers as well. Any tips on getting the front bumper off I heard it is a pita!
