you are trying to go black or color match? if it's color match get the gm paint in a can. match by color code on your glove box sticker. if it's black duplicolor or krylon seems to do well. make sure you give it a once or twice over with a clear if you want it to hold up longer.

If it were me I'd leave your grille. But that's just me. You have a color coded grille which suits your truck really well. The only reason I painted mine was because it was before the days of color coded grilles and it was a cheap faded grey plastic.
If you do decide to paint it though keep in mind it's plastic. Krylon is the best paint to use on plastic. I just used regular primer and regular paint though and it's help up fine so far. No nicks or dings that I'd found.

IMO colour coded grilles are beautiful... funny thing is I was complaining that my grille wasn't colour coded, then I actually thought about what I was saying and had to laugh.

There is TONS of info on the forum about tbars and shackles. It's a very easy and cheap way to get up to 2" of lift. Do a search if you want more info then this...

Here is a great external link explaining shackles: http://www.jeeps-offroad.com/f57/sha...they-do-20993/

The tbars are literally just 2 bolts you crank to gain lift in the front. The shackles are pretty each too. Just a couple of bolts to remove and replace.

Here is a good thread with pics about shackles.
