    if you look at the first pic in my sig, you can kinda see it.

    looks good man!
    Tahoe front end? Its all silverado front end with the billit grille. And no fitment issues on it.

    Thanks!

    What do you mean by "no bowtie frame"?

    what I mean is; if you look at your grille, a part of the grille wraps all the way around the bowtie. if you look at jcomeir's grille it is blank about 3/4 of an inch on either side of the top part of the bowtie. FYI the all chrome grille is from the suburbans and tahoes, it was not an option for silverado's but it was stock for suburban/tahoe. A lot of times when you buy a replacement grille for the Silverado they will give you the all chrome shell. Some aftermarket grilles have the "frame" and others do not. on the OE piece, where the bowtie is inset, the grille wraps completely around the bowtie. on aftermarket ones sometimes it is missing the bottom half of the frame, some they are mising the top, and some are missing both.

    they do look good, I have always like the all chrome grille. when I had a wreck I bought the aftermarket to replace my OE piece. I wasn't happy with it at all because of that one little detail. other than that I thought the fitment was pretty good. I just don't understand why they made that much gap in between the bowtie and the frames, what bowtie were they using for measurements?
