vendors selling billet grill for 67-68?

Hi all I am thinking about adding the billet inserts to my 68 to change it up some. I have not been able to find them with any of the site vendors.
Any suggestions besides LMC and I am still trying to decide if this look is good for me.
thanks
Dave

Agreed. As a whole, styles are trending heavily back towards stock trim and finishes. Billet grills and the like are definitely quickly becoming a thing of the past. I think the ones that LMC and Brothers sell are pretty much going to be the only ones you can find.

Brothers has them:

https://www.brotherstrucks.com/67-68...tinfo/BIL6768/

Note that once these are installed you have to pop the hood from below the front bumper. Either that or find another way to do it.

Thanks guys for the input. I do agree the factory look if very classy. I was not sold on the change and that in part was why I posted on here.
looking around you see very few of them done and may be there is a reason...
I have full trim on mine but sometimes just looking for ways to change it up. Even tho my 68 is far from factory color I do like the classic look.
