Do you think I can pull this grille off?

[SOLISIMO]

Or just stay with what I have Reminds me of the RBP grille but half the price. I am thinking of going with an ironbull bumper in the near future too.

IMO... on your beast of an EL that would flow and look sick....

 

[SOLISIMO]

Now I dont know if to leave it black or color match the outside and leave the rivet area in black. Since my headlights are black, it makes it a tough decision.

 

[walnuts4x4]

thats the problem with mods... one little project turns into a big decision...lol

but I like your idea for color match the outside.... then the black around the rivets would flow with your headlights.... overall it would all tie in well together with the EL.... almost enough that I would want a newer expy... especially an EL

Honestly, I like the current grille you have. But that doesn't mean the new one won't look good. I guess I'm just having a hard time picturing it on your truck.

 

[designit]

I like the one you have... Much MUCH better look IMO...

Of course I hate you because of it too...

 

[GAINMOB]

do it...

Honestly your stock grille looks better, that grille looks like a cheap knock off of those RBP grilles, like it looks out of proportion for some reason

 

[jjbusa]

i like it what does the wife think since its her truck right... lol

i like your stock grill. just my opinion. i never liked the BIG OPEN grills. they look to open.

 

[GAINMOB]

Well its not cheap, you see just bc RBP charges $1800 for a grille doesnt mean thats what they are worth. I know first hand what it cost to make a grille and its not that much, not even close. RBP is looking at a 70%+ profit. RPB makes the same grille for the expy for around $400

 

[panda24619]

grills cost too much. even the mesh grills with a little star in the middle. o big woop. they took some chicken wire, a star, and some rivets and made a grill. kinda how its done, and sold it hundreds of dollars. i can never get my self to buying on like this... http://www.thedpfdeleteshop.com/images/RX_ChevySilveradoHD07-08.jpg http://www.f150online.com/forums/me...s-f150-06-xlt-picture42015-rbp-fish-style.jpg

it looks too open for me. idk. just my o2 though.

id say wait til you get the ironbull bumper. without it i think the grille would look out of place. but with the ironbull i think it would work.

I owned a company for a few years where we produced underwater lighting for waterfront properties. I retailed our various lines from between $350.00 and $700.00 per unit. Our manufacturing cost (not including labor, overhead etc) was just under one bill. You're 100% correct, by the time a product hits your doorstep it's normally been marked up 200-500%

Yeah Im thinking ahead, I dont think this grille with the bumper I have now would look good.

 

[treycool94]

you could do it and put some lights in the grill would prob look good with it

yea I know that is ridiculous for a grille $1800 dollars even 400 is too much, but honestly your stock grille looks alot better in my oponion
