Default Tahoe Grill-Chrome

Hey guys, I got some spare money and am looking into getting a tahoe front grill. I've searched around but cant seem to find any oem ones-G&R isnt returning my emails. So here is the question-Where did you all get them. Have any of you tried aftermarket ones off ebay?

I think it was Stylin Concepts that sells one for 130 bucks or something?

the ones on ebay are aftermarket, how long do they last, and do they have the fit/finish of oem. If so could you look ate your records and let me know who you bought them off of. My buddy bought one recently and its already all oxidized after six months??

aftermarket stuff is shady, I got the 3 piece front bumper from ebay for cheaper then oem and it fit like ****, and is starting to show rust on the front from the back not being painted/chromed after only a year, the grills are plastic thou, so if you keep it waxed up it should hold up, if it fits that is.

I have had mine on the truck for about a year and a half and I have no complaints about it.... I do keep up my truck also.... I normally wash it about 1 a week....I think it was money well spent.....

I have an aftermarket tahoe grill on mine (for about 3 yrs.) and I have noticed some oxidation on mine. It is not terribly bad but it is noticible to me. The fitment of the grill was okay but not perfect. If I were you I would just spend a little more on a OEM grill.
