I prefer the cleaner look of the GMC grill with Street Scenes mesh grill insert.
I know others have made the swap, but I haven't read anywhere that says if it is a straight across swap or if there are some fitting issues?

I want to quiet down the asthetics of my front without removing anything. New GMC grill with black diamond mesh grill insert and color matched will remove a lot of undesired lines in the Colorado styled grill. Then I'll switch the front 20" LED light Bar for a Rigid Industries Blackout 20" bar.

That's some serious illumination on Badger's front! The GM grill w/insert will look real nice on your ride.

I ordered the Canyon grill from ebay for $79.95 and free shipping. The stainless steel diamond mesh grill insert from Street Scenes is gonna cost a bit under $150 with shipping.
So that means parts will be about $225, but I'll need to have somebody paint it up.
All things considered, not an expensive mod.

My grill is sanded and primered and ready for paint.
Heads Up for people considering the grill swap. If you plan to paint your grill, you might consider avoiding a chrome grill cuz that chrome has gotta be sanded down before you can paint it. If you are paying a paint shop to do the job, like I am, that's gonna cost $ for shop time sanding.
