LoL, never been good with names. Have you swapped the frames already?

Not yet. I'm getting ready to build a garage. 50x60 with a lift. I think I'm going to wait until it's done for my sanity.

Dang...I had kicked around the idea of a 28x40 with scissor joists, and thought it was maybe a bit much, though we live on a postage stamp lot, compared to your place.

Good luck, will work for good bourbon, food, both, lol.

Never too much lol 28x40 was the size of my last garage in Michigan. The ceilings were to low though. Other than that, it was a great shop. They get small quickly.

Here's an updated pic of the grill. The panel the grill mounts to finally came in so I was able to mock it up a little better. The headlights are a couple inches shorter and must tip out more at the bottom. Overall I like it though. It's a very snug fit between the lights, but that might be because I haven't sorted out the frame yet.
I'm sure I'll get this grill where I want it just in time for the a/m companies to get off there ***** and come up with a grill that will fit the 15-17s.

My grille is stock. Doesn't look too different with the headlights

Awesome. Thanks for the pic. I'd say I'll be right on the money then.

@HawkX66 so would you say that once we have the aftermarket bumper we just need to buy a grille for the 3rd gen rather than trying to get one for 15-17?

I really don't want to confirm that yet. Mine still has a bent frame. I do feel like that's the case though. You might need to do a little bit of trimming on the lower corners where the mount meets the bumper though.
