What do you think of my Phantom Grille. PICS - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

barn9 · 08-19-2002, 02:11 PM

I think it looks good. As to the bowtie, either way is OK with me. And as to the question of what is missing, nothing. What needs to be missing is that goofy looking (IMO) window sticker, it just takes away from a nice, clean looking truck. Other than that, it is a sweet truck. Nice job!

KICK A$$!!! But I agree about the Bowtie.

Tyler_69C10 · 08-19-2002, 03:35 PM

I like it. You definitely have one of the nicest trucks on the board. I especially love your paint colour. The only thing I don't like about the truck is the big sticker in the windshield. That's just my opinion though,

Sweet truck!

i like it, was gonna put one on mine when i was building a 2 wheel drie, BUT in my opinion, if you took off the bowtie, painted the outer grill blue, and got a front rollpan for it it would be perfect.

.. but your can.

72chevyLWB · 08-19-2002, 07:07 PM

I have been thinking of taking off the letters on my windshield sticker. I would keep the blue though. When you see it just right it gives the front more of a chopped look or something. I like it, but the letters will eventually go. One thing I hate is front roll pans on these trucks so I wont be doing that. I like the chrome now, but who knows. Does anybody make clear bumper lights?

Sweet truck............i like it just the way you got it.............James

Dean23 · 08-19-2002, 07:54 PM

Looks great, really stands out. gets my approval

**68SWB4x4** · 08-19-2002, 08:14 PM

i think its pretty kickass...... maybe with the outer grille painted blue would be sweet....... dunno id have to see it without the bowtie to be able to tell if it looked better or not

lofly'a · 08-19-2002, 08:56 PM

looks real nice, sometimes havin the "blues" is'nt all bad.(pun intended) hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe

:p

Looks like I may be in the minority here, but the bowtie IMO keeps the front from looking like a big void or a big gaping mouth. And I stick to my initial reaction as to that goofy looking windshield sticker, ditch that junior-high piece of ****, and you got one damned good lookin' truck! Letters or not, that just takes away from the real look! Y'all can cuss me if you want to, but to me it just ruins the truck, and the truck would look so much better without it. But, alas, it is your truck, so do what makes you happy, because what really matters is that you have a shining example of the best truck ever produced in this whole world!!! Happy Trails & Keep On Truckin'!!!

I was never verybig on hose kind of grills but d@mn dose that look good on your truck! I agree that the bowtie really helps to break up all that empty space in the middle! I would leave it just the way it is! it looks great!!!
