there's just not that much chrome on the rest of the truck.
I do like the tahoe grille better in most instances, but the stock one looks better on your truck IMO.

Stock if you leave the fender flares and side mouldings, Tahoe if you remove the flares and mouldings. Can't go wrong either way though IMO.

Personally like the Tahoe grille, as it resembles the 94-98 Chevy front end (best front ever). You've got enough chrome that it fits in. Either way looks good though.

BTW...go stalk craigslist.org and grab some 95% unused 285s. Eventually some will pop up at a ridiculously low price. Ask me how I know

i pretty much agree, i would take off all the black stuff and drop it 2/4 but after the grief i went to to get a 4x4 my mom,gf,and uncle would proabably hurt me. plus it like to flood alot in my area. but i think i will get an grille insert like yours bud.

What about having the grille color-matched along with the mirror caps?
