Figured this was the best place to ask. I had an ebay special on my Z71 which was fine as far as I was concerned I believe it was chromed on the surface facing outwards. I see the carriage works grilles are pretty pricey which I dont mind spending the money for one if there is good reason to spend it. I want a polished grille this time since my truck is black and I dont want it to shine as much as the chrome one I had. My truck is a garage queen, its not a DD, and I live down in the south where there is no snow or salt. Is it worth the extra dough for a carriage works or will I be fine with an ebay special? Also is the HD bowtie and the half ton bowtie the same size? Im going to order a polished one to complete the look up front.

Mine is a stull, polished. Full cutout style, no overlay for me.

 

Ok the trex grilles are in the same range as the carriage grilles, what is the huge difference in price between the ebay specials and these more expensive ones? I never had any problems with my 50 buck ebay special.

Im going with the cutout style I dont like how the bolt over ones stick out.

 

Mine was around 100 for the GMC grill.

 

Thinkin about ordering this one

Its a bolt over but I like how it is flush with the outline of the grille and the bars are a bit thicker. With this bowtie

Should look like this but with obviously a thicker bumper cap since mine is an HD and the amber cleared out of my lights

 

I thought you had an older chevy, I believe I have a used polished grill to fit the 03-07 in my garage, let me check.

 

The insert I need only fits the 50-07 HDs and 06-07 half tons

I used to have an 01 ecsb Z71 thus the screename

 

Ok, I was trying to upload a pic from my phone but it's not working, says it's to big. i looked at the pics of the e-bay grill and it looks the same. Don't have any mounting hardware but you can have it for cost of shipping if it will work? Going to waste sitting here and I could email you pics.
