I don't know, but if you read their negative feedback, some people say the stuff they sell is crap. I know it's cheap aftermarket parts.

Just spend a little more money and get a billet grille from a dealer you know is quality. I have a Trenz cut-out and it fits perfectly and looks great.

I was looking at this more for the chrome trim, not the center section which I would replce with the grill insert I currently have.

I bought an aftermarket tahoe grill from someone on ebay and got fairly lucky with it. The only problem I have had with it is where I screwed the billet inserts in, it has cracked a little. You can barely tell and have to be looking for it to see it. If I wouldn't have put my billet inserts in and left it stock, it would probably still be good.

my last experience with an aftermarket grille shell was crappy to say the least. spend the extra money and get a factory tahoe grille to make it look right.

I got this grill from Steet Scene or Stylin, forget which one but I like it just fine. Easy install 3 yrs ago and never any problems. Then I painted the grill shell, the chrome center bar, bumper top and valance to match the truck and added a chrome Bow Tie. Looks great!

I'd like to paint mine too but every body shop I've talked to wants to rape me on the work! Been looking for a black Tahoe/Suburban grill with no luck.

The install is easy, but how is it holding up for you?
