Message:
I am looking for the cheapest online place to find the SS speed grill compelete kit both lower valence and main grill. I saw a thread on here a while back that had them on a site for 180, but i can't seem to find the thread. If somebody has a place around or less than 180 that'd be great.

Here's a site for you if you don't want to shell out the 180 bucks for the Street Scene grille inserts:
http://www.drunkenbear.biz
The honeycomb inserts are made of aluminum (no rust), can be painted any solid color for an additional eight dollars, and are easy to install. I did mine today on the grille, going to do the lower bumper cover tomorrow. I had mine painted silver to match the truck. I'll post a pic once it's completed and I have a chance to get my hands on a digital camera.
Best part of all: the inserts are only $28 from the website, although you can find them on e-Bay for less or perhaps more depending on the auction. E-mail Shawn Keren off the website... it's a newer look than the diamond-hole extruded look, and I for one am very happy with it so far. It does require relocation or adaptation of the safety hood latch mechanism, which I did myself for about 8 bucks with a few parts from Home Depot. I will post pics etc. of this as well.
Total cost, painted plus shipping, should be about $50 or so after shipping. It's a good looking grille, so think about it as an alternative.

are there clips that attach it? Or is it just gutter guard and zip ties? If there are clips i'd be interested.

Well, there are not clips, that's for sure.... basically you remove the black plastic vanes in the stock grille, cut off the flashings left over with a razor/utility knife, then drill small holes in the leftover black plastic border and screw the new grille inserts on. Again, I will post my how-to and pics once I get a digital camera to take some. I'm aiming for Monday unless I get impatient and go buy one myself.
