it does look alot nicer now that you put the side tabs back on.

not good for the kwik filter, though.

i'm sure the kwik filter is inhaling a lot more air that just came through the radiator, but with temps down to 12 when i came home at 5:30, i don't think that air is very hot...!

Has a distinctively bold look about it. I like it I've never plowed...will it make any kind of difference...like less snow gettting crammed into the front.

i would imagine it will keep the snow out... i am gonna watch the temps real close though... i don't do to much plowing, so i should be fine... i took it out on I93 tonight after work just to make sure that it wasn't gonna overheat... i shouldn't have worried... the temp gauge never moved... i know it is junk, and not to be trusted, but my tranny gauge hardly moved either... it struggled to reach 100 degrees... it didn't quite make it after being on the highway at 75 mph for over half an hour... and the heat coming out of the vent felt "normal" to me... not really any hotter than it usually gets... i keep a close watch on the gauges on the way to buffalo..!

Nice!!! I just bought one from Lund. Haven't got it yet, will post pics when I do. It's been real cold here in Milwaukee, WI. about -4*F when I started her up this morning. How much did you pay for that one? Mine (in stainless) was about $100.00 with shipping.

Let me know!

Thanks,
DC-9

$60 - free shipping - buy now price on ebay - it is SS - only downside, it was too cold outside to put it on, so i had to take the grille off and bring it inside to do the install, no big deal though because the grille comes off so easy...

Make the pictures 400x400 pixels, the same size as allowed in the attachments and it's a good chance we'll leave 'em as posted. Another good way is to post ONE picture and the rest links. Trying to control the amount of bandwidth used.......

I like the look. It's different than your normal grill look.

Johny8,

If you like the look of it get a summer grille like mine. I got it from Cabela's 109.00 check it out in my gallery. Pics taken at night so not too good but you get the idea.

yours looks good BTW
