Word up..... thnx for the feedback. I know not too many folks are a fan of the full face grille but I dig it. I don't know what it is but the cross bar makes it look like the front end is squished to me, like someone is pinching it between their fingers....I know, I'm a weirdo. I must have looked at grilles and pics of grilles for two weeks before I made a decision. I LOVE the full phantom grilles on the OBS where everything is behind the grille. For me, especially with the HD hood, these trucks have a big nose and the cross bar cuts it in half and makes it look smaller and it look odd to me.....
I have always liked the GMC front ends better and they have the grille(for chevys) that has the open center but it has a frame around it that looks odd to me, the open part is too small. What makes the GM look good is they don't just have the crossbar, they have the lights encased too so it's not just a straight line extending from the grille... everyone sees things from a different perspective I reckon'
as for the bowtie on the rear...I love it, wanted a bigger one but couldn't find one. I'm not a huge fan of having the rear gate clean, for me it's a lot of space and I like to have something to break it up but clean looks 1000x better than the stock badges for sure.
