97 Tahoe - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

cougr · 07-24-2003, 10:58 AM

I just bought a 97 Tahoe with 63000 miles, pretty nice condition. However, the grill is cracked, hardly noticable, but it is driving me insane.

Anyone know of a good place to order a new one (fairly inexpensive), that (no offense to anyone) doesn't look ghetto, or rice.

Man you can get some nice after market ones that look really nice, it just wont have theGMC logo on it.

this one is different and cheaper, the one i mentiond above was one i found in their catalogue

this one is not an OEM replacement, but a billet cover that goes over the original and looks sweet (not getto or rice dont worry)

I don't mean to be a pain, but do they have a photo of it for the 97 nose style? Is it just the grill itself, or the trim part with the chevy emblem as well?

BigTruck1956 · 07-26-2003, 01:29 PM

hehehe no worries man.
shit, i dunno though. that would be a question you would have to ask them they are 1 800 529 4486. From what i understood, it was the whole thing, not just the grille, because they sell inserts as well. go ahead and give them a call thoguh.
incase you were wondering, i have never had any problems with jc whitney, just make sure you tell them exactly what you want.

Call your local salvage yard. You may get it cheaper and will actually have the branded logo on it. If you get a good yard, they'll call around for you looking for the part.

can u put a billet grille in its place?

cougr · 07-31-2003, 11:12 AM

It isn't the grill that is cracked, it is the like center bar that has the chevy emblem on it that is cracked. Pretty much the entire nose part (grill and trim) seems to be one piece.
