Question 2004 Grill Thread

whats the difference between 'Brushed' and 'Polished'????? What would look better on my truck (gallery)? i am considering the Stull Billet Grille or another one by Carriage Works.

Post some pics of new grilles if you have one so all of us can see!!

brushed is like those stainless steel appliances and the polished should be a lot shinier.

The great thing about the '04 though is that swapping out the Grilles should be very easy. If you look under the hood there are some clips and bolts that appear to be all that is required to remove and install a new one. I'd go for the polished though...nice to have something shiny around that blue oval!

Got mine from Trenz, upper and lower $280 S&H included. I went with the brushed to offset the chrome bezel and bumper on the Lariat. I think the polished would've been too much on the front. I'll post pix next week when I get it from the dealer. they're installing it for me.
