Default What type of grilles do you prefer?

I personally like color matched grilles, however I haven't seen too many out there. Can anyone post some pics of some really sick ones? I'm looking to pick one up, but I can't make up my mind.

kinda an open question.

the most common (color matched) at the moment are the OEM grilles, the integrated foglight grille is popular right now, the flat faced grille (but most are chrome, not painted). There are pics all over this site for them.

Other than that, for the most part, you are looking at something custom made.

I have an all in one-peice flat faced solid 'grille' with wrap-around the sides upper and lower headlight eyebrows (eyelids) over that protrude onto the fenders just a touch (top and bottom eyelid sections come to a point about 1/2" onto the fender) and integrated half round driving lights (looks like scowling eyes). BUT as the "worthless without pics" chant goes... it's not painted, so, I've taken no pics.

I like the Vizages type B grill, but I don't think anyone has it.

I hadn't seen that one before. I don't think anyone has it either.

Surprised there's no knock-offs floating around. A bodykit guy could copy that in urethane foam and resin in a day.

Good clean lines.

I still like the standard grille best of all the grilles I have seen on here. The others just don't look natural. It's all personal preference in the end. If you like it, go with it! Can't please everyone.

I am partial to the Billet Grills for all three. Of course I am going for more of a Rod look.

I purchased the upper and lower T-Rex grills from billet-grills.com. The grills look GREAT! and the installation was easy. I had all three installed within 30 minutes.

FYI - I have NO affiliation with them. I am just a very happy Customer!

B-Cool Billet Grills Black, Polished or Brushed. Best Billets on the market. You can buy cheaper Grills on e-bay but they are not as good.

I personally don't like the billet look at all. For now (and probably for awhile) I'm rocking the stock BSP grill. I like it =)
