Default where did you get your billet grill inserts?

I've noticed from a lot of pics of trucks here that many have the billet inserts for their grills. I have seen some on ebay but only the upper grill and not the lower. Are there any sites that offer both of them. Thanks

What ever you do buy a polished stainless version. Every other type will either rust or corrode. No matter what the manufacturer advertises.

I like the polished look and even opted for the polished gas cap cover because it matches the rims better than the brushed. Do you know what the best brand is to buy, i.e. speed grilles, etc...

just be careful which grill inserts you buy, because some of them just go right over top of the "honeycomb" grill and i think it looks kinda tacky. so make sure you buy the one that actually replaces the "honeycomb" grill

I agree, I bought a Putco Grille and it bolts over the existing grille. From afar it looks good, but up close it is very tacky.

I'll be switching to the factory style chrom grille on mine and sell mine(probably on ebay).

Putco also has an attitude about their shipping practices. My grille came bent. The instructions specifically say to straighten out any bends before installing(duh!). They go on to say it is out of their control, but if they knew how to pack a box, they wouldn't be bent in the first place.

I may try returning it first, if I can't, they'll be on ebay shortly.

I got mine at www.autoanything.com

I agree, I was looking for the replacement rather than the cover. Thanks guys
