2011 Chevrolet Silverado & Carriage Works Billet Grille Install

[Bigredmariner]

Me likey. Bunches.

You should consider it Scott. I also installed the fascia grille, I was concerned about modifying the license plate holder. Well the instructions pointed out precisely how to do it. Wasn't hard at all and everything fit perfectly. I have the small piece to order that goes in the bumper itself, but that will will be a straight forward bolt on. No fitting needed.

I am very interested to see that.

I have grille shopped a half a dozen times, and had the damn things in my cart but never hit the button. I had ruled out the bumper grille altogether because of the plate issue

Well I did just think about your tow hooks, that would rule the fascia grille out. Unless you modified it yourself, I don't think they offer one with the tow hooks accessible. But from experience I would highly recommend Carriage Works for quality and looks.

I decided I didn't want the extra size of the black rim around the bowtie.

Hey I like that, I was looking at mine today and was wondering if it was two pieces or not. I guess not.

Recovering from Surgery I had last week so I can't do anyting but look at my truck......hell can't even get into it right now.

looks good. just installed my grille today also. don't look nearly as good, just a lay over type, bolted against the plastic using plates and wing nuts. good enough for $75 though. first mod of 2011 done!

Nice write up Jarrod!

Sucks that you have to cut out the grill and it isn't as easy as to just unclip it from the frame.

Yeah I know Nick, but if it was easy everybody would do it.

Maybe I missed it earlier, Jarrod, but when are you doing the lower?

The lower is in and done. Painting, well I'm still waiting to figure that out but all the cutting and fitting has been done. It's just a matter of finding the right shop and price for the painting.
