Default too much??

Normally I can make up my own mind but kinda torn on this one. Looks awesome sitting on the living room floor, but once on the truck not sure. Very nicely made solid GM part.

Sat it in place (no clips so its not seated properly) and took this pic...looks like too much chrome on the front end to me. Makes the truck look wider and lower, but also seems to be a bit much IMHO.

Look great on a silver or light color truck I'll bet....

Thoughts??

the chrome isn't bad. the shape of the grille is odd though.

Actually its a crappy picture, there is raised center section "bar" and in person the grille looks very nice...just too much chrome on the front of a dark blue truck I think. On lighter colors it isn't so in your face.

For now I'm back to stock.

I just sent back a billet Carriage Works chrome grille all because it was to bling bling. I figured all the chrome would look good on white but it didnt to me. I'll probably just end up getting the the black version.

Yeah weird how something so nice just doesn't look right once in place? I think blacked out would look good, will look around a bit first. On the silver truck I first saw it on, it looked really nice...but that truck had chrome wheels too so it all kinda of fit together.

Funny thing on the stock grille too, you could throw a softball through those openings!!!LOL
