Yeah, yeah, I know about the grill, NOT big on it myself, but what can I do? The previous owner cut out the factory plastic behind it... I want to paint match the grill yet and I was thinkin of just painting the billets and Chevy symbol black?

Whats preventing you from installed normal billet in that grille even with the stock stuff cut out?

I've always cut out my stock grille to install the billet, it looks cleaner.....maybe the newer yrs are diff?

yeah with the 99-02 yrs they didnt make a good looking billet grille that bolted on to stock stuff, it just looked tacky.

The good design basically required you to hack all the old stuff out and drill holes to mount.

IDK? LOL, I took the center leaf spring out and reinstalled the factory shackels in the back and cut 1 coil off the front springs. I just need to do an alignment yet. Also, I cut half of the rubber off of the rear bump stops and clamped the overloads to the remaining leaf spring in the back to help eliminate axle hop. Works great but it does still hit the bump stop in the back when it launches. I think i'll add some caltrac's and that should keep it from hitting the bump stops so bad.
