Well I'm really sorry for the other post . guess I was type happy .

Is the expense really worth the cost on a non show truck .

The after market bezels hold up OK if kept waxed up .And I got a new set . But The after market grills I have not had to much luck with .

Oem r hard to find and and really pricey . I use my truck I want it to look nice but a show unit it is not.

So Go A/M grill or a billet? I go the stainless billet route if I pick that one..

Now for door handles . Would u go after if no find decent oem ones? I am watching eBay for both OEM grill and handles but have yet to get to the wreckers . As if they would separate anyway .

I hope no one gets a head ache this time.

Guess I could alway paint them smiliestirthepot

For my needs, function is more important than appearance. If I had no other reasonable choice, then aftermarket it is... I agree, a show truck needs to be better than that, but most of us have street drivers that don't meet as high of standards.
