Grill Manufacturers

Hi All -
Great forum - I look forward to participating.

I want to replace the grill on my 1999 silverado Z71. I like the SS speed grills, but I am not to keen on being able to see my old grill behind it. Have any of you painted out your factory chrome gill to hide it?

Also, my last truck had the typical aluminum bar grill that requires cutting. I like this look far better than the bolt overs. Do you which manufacturers still make the old versions that require cutting?

Thanks!
