HD Grill on 03 Tahoe

[05Single]

Do the bottom two stock clips fit in the same spot? As the original grille ?

I'm pretty sure they do, but it's hard to tell because without trimming the grill , it's a little tall.

Tony, Here's a few pics on mine that I just completed.
Hope it helps

Thx man .Hopefully I can do this next Saturday .Helped a lot! Does the lower part of the grill rub on your bumper pad? Looks like it would, where it would leave scratches. That's with 1.5 inches cut out?

Its barely touching on mine.

Just a thought, but I wonder if a GMC bumper would work? Or maybe an '03 up Chevy bumper? Both have a recessed area to clear the grille in the middle. I did the HD swap, it's not that hard. You use your existing bumper, it's just the HD cap you need. You do have to cut and reweld the frame though.

Gmc bumper will work but leave a big gap between where the fender and bumper meet

Edit: here's a thread with a couple pics of what I'm talking about. From the front it looks great but the sides it doesn't IMO.

OK I see what you're talking about. Also the red truck has an '03-up buyer.

the red truck and blue truck both have the correct 99-02 bumper cap, the burgundy one and the obs with the conversion both have the gmc bumper.
