thanks guys, i wasnt really too sure how i felt about it at first, but it really grew on me the more i looked at it, i got sick of looking at the black plastic where fogs should be, so eventually those grilles are coming out and fogs are going in, the grilles were easy to cut and install, just drilled small holes and used very small zip ties (pain to fasten, had to use needle nose pliers)

its not actually gutter guard (although i saw that and contemplating trying it) its actually a mesh used to build BBQ grills, i got it at lowes. 7 bucks and i got a sheet thats like 7 by 3, and i have a rediculous amount left and no use for it lol. thanks for the imput on the car, just got into modding a few months ago and im loving my progress. i still have to get it tinted, CAI, UDP, exhaust, new headlights and halogens.

I used the gutter guard on my last S-10 and it worked out pretty good. I just zip tied it to the old grill... I don't have any pictures, but it didn't look that bad... Until I whacked a deer.

You should change the turn signal bulbs. I found that orange is NOT becoming on our color (CG), especially if you have clear corners.

I like it on mine. I don't have clear corners though, I just tinted mine..really...really dark and took out the bulbs cause I didn't like how the light was barely shining through. I need a new bumper though

been looking for an R/T bumper for the longest time. Beginning to think I should just settle for an 02 bumper in the meantime.

looks better fixed, but i'd maybe take a few more minutes with it and spray paint it flat black for a sleek look
