View Full Version : Everyone's Grills :)
Sorell 01-13-2008, 10:06 PM I just bought a new grill and installed it but it looks kinda dumb as it's grey with the chrome chev strip on an all black Blazer. I'm going to change up my old one, but was looking for some more ideas on what to do with it before I change it out more than it needs to. Could you post some pictures of what your grill looks like?
Thanks
SmokeU 01-13-2008, 11:02 PM everyone seems to be into bowtie grillshttp://www.truckefx.com/chevygmcallchromegrilles/2472876143.jpg
theonetrueapex 01-14-2008, 02:21 AM Mine is the stock split grill. Chrome center stripe and black plastic else where.
lennyblazer 01-14-2008, 06:18 AM I haven't done anything with my grille yet. But I have the stock chrome strip down the middle, bowtie in the middle of that and then black plastic with the chromestrip at the top (stock for 98-99/00). I have added clear corners which make it look a lot better imo. I am thinking of getting a chrome/billet bowtie and maybe upgrade to the grille style shown above. You should be able to see what I got in my signature pics.

blazinblack 01-14-2008, 09:50 AM i have an identical blazer to yours black 2dr and i took and painted the emlem black and painted everything else black but the chrome strip
Mr Blazer LT 01-14-2008, 12:18 PM Mine is stock also, but i'm pretty sure my insert is blue, matching the body color, and not black. Maybe an LT option? I dunno.

x2 man!
Getcha some chrome door edge molding (the kind in a roll) and stick it on there. I had to do a little work w/ mine but it really looks good.
cliro 01-14-2008, 02:04 PM mines defferant than all yours, lol.:D
Sorell 01-14-2008, 06:46 PM Haha man you and your Jimmy. Those are some pretty nice grills, I'll be finishing mine tonight. Think I'm gonna do the lazyish thing and justpaint everything but the chrome strip black... Ya, a bit original eh? ;) I bought the silverstar bulbs for my stock foglights and those should look pretty nice coming from all black with a little chrome I figure> good and simple too
mdehoogh 01-14-2008, 06:55 PM the 880 silverstar foglights dont seem as "silverstar-ish" as the 9006 bulbs. i believe the 880's are only 35w...
im thinking of getting a second set of HIDs for my foglamps :)

Yours would actually work better to do the door edging with, whoever originally posted that up had a Jimmy. Theres not any vertical slats to mess it up in the Jimmys
Sorell 01-14-2008, 07:11 PM I installed the silverstar bulbs last night and they're at least 200% better than my old ones so I'm happy, I'm not the biggest fan of the super bright bulbs though anyway - my opinion

I think on an all-black truck, an all-black grille would look really cool, with a red or chrome bowtie. Mine's for a '95-97, but they also make 'em for the '98+es. If you have shiny chrome wheels, then get the chrome bowtie. An all-chrome grille would also look good, in which case I'd look for a black bowtie.
LMC Truck (http://www.lmctruck.com/) carries a lot of different styles of grilles for Chevy trucks. I'd say check them out first. You can also find what you need on Ebay, but some vendors are questionable.
Sorell 01-19-2008, 08:01 PM XBlazer01... Did you buy a new grill for yours or did you just paint the whole thing except for the bowtie? Thats moreso what I've been looking for and ya...
I finally finished my grills for now seeing as I have 2 now ;) I just painted the whole thing black except for the chrome strip in the middle and the bowtie, the good old original look.
Oh and XBlazer where did you get your signal lights? Are theyboth asignal and fog light combination? - I want some
mdehoogh 01-19-2008, 08:07 PM xblazer has an xtreme. i believe most if not all came from the factory with a body color horizontal bar on them rather than a chrome one
drperry 01-19-2008, 08:25 PM I've got the chrome bar across the front, like all the other Chevy's... The rest of it is color matched, other than the black plastic for the air holes, lol.
I don't know if it's an LT thing or not... Mine is absolute base model + A/C and CD Player...
