I need opinions on my grille

I am making a grille for my 98 Jimmy. I just wanted to see what you guys thought. it is still a work in progress, so don't be to mean....lol

I removed the old grille insert and added expanded metal to back. In front of that I added 1/4 stainless rods bent to the same radius as the old one. I also spruced up my emblem with carbon fiber. I have some painting and finishing work to do. At least its original.

Re: I need opinions on my grille

It was not hard to remove the old one. I used my Dremel and it was out in 5-10 minutes.

Here is a pic of it installed. Also the bumper was done the same way to match.

Re: I need opinions on my grille

I think it looks great.

I have been looking for a new grill for my 98 Bravada. Have you seen any out there?

I have not seen any...but I have never looked for one. You might try eBay.

Thanks for the reply...
