What color is your truck? If it is red, black, or blue you can just get a Silverado SS grille assembly and bolt it on. After that, sell your stock grille assembly to help pay back some of the money you spent on the SS grille. That's what I did. Let me know if you're interested in the part numbers. Here is a SS grille on my truck:

You're in luck since your truck is arrival blue. The part number for a blue SS grille assembly is:

15178221 - Front Grille Assembly - Blue

It comes prepainted and ready to bolt in. It even comes with a stock bowtie. There are 6 clips (if I remember correctly) that hold the entire grille assembly. In case you didn't know, the assembly is one piece (including the long piece that is between the headlights and turnsignals). You can either get the grille from a dealer ($$) or www.gmpartsdirect.com.

thats actually not that bad really... your gonna have close to $100 into paint/labor if you get your grille painted professionally... whats another $156 for a whole new grille to, you will not find any flaws in that grille or paint, thats the way it supposed to be done
