Billet Grilles

Post by green02crew »

Has anyone seen the Putco Shadow Billet Grille Insert and how they look? Are they a quality product and easy to install? I was thinking about getting one due to the cheap cost and supposed easy installation.

I've never seen the Putco grill, but I bought my billet grill on Ebay for about $25. I think it looks just as good as any I've seen anywhere else.

That price for the Putco seems expensive for the small insert.
If you want the light to light look like mine, you need to buy a 99-2000 Blazer LS grill and bumper filler strip. Then order a billet grill for the horizontal grill. It shows off more of the bumper.

Well looks like I might have to shop around some more to get a good deal. For those of you that have installed this is it an easy process?

20 min. for my install. I was surprised how easy the grill was to remove and replace. Here is an old post on the subject. Billet Grill I got mine from Grille4You also.
