What do you guys think of this? Click Here

If it were actually metal, I would have already bought it. I think it would look good on my truck. Anybody else have this already or have anybetter ideas? Thanks!

Yeah this has been posted before, and as a general consenus people didn't like. I am not too fond of it either. It just looks too big and nonproportional. But if you like it go for it.

Darn, no love guys? lol, I was just kind of looking for something to change the front looks. I'm just totally against grill inserts because I think it gives the same lame effect thatcheesyhub caps give to wheels. And I really need to do something because the black on the stock grillis sun bleached (thatdamn global warming, lol)and looks trashy. Thanks for the input.

I can think of so many other things I would put $250 into than that grill...

Definitely just paint the grill...anndddd a brush guard will spruce the front end up nicely [8D]

ya, its not "exactly" my style either, but its a change from the other eighty-something billion other blazers in my area.another place had it for100 bucks cheaper.But I'llmore than likelygo with the option of painting, but I have no experience withautopainting. All the work done on my blazer has been done only by me, and I'm trying to keep it that way. so i'll check into it. I appreciate the input!

also, the brush guard is definitely on the agenda. It's one of the top priorities because every vehicle i've driven and owned(except the blazer)has hit a deer(including me on my motorcycle).

I tried to go 'different' with my old car...ended up like this:



The grille is just plastic...so as long as you use enamel paint or some other outdoor/tough spray paint, you'll be fine! It's all in the prep work though...sand and buff and polish...and it'll look brand new!
