drawz Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 (edited) Does anyone know where I can buy these big grills? Or are they only custom made? I found one page that sells them for $800+... Thats quite expensive.. Edited July 30, 2015 by drawz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Gadsby Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I have no info for you, but I do think it is sexy. Makes me want to buy a plasma cnc machine and a sheet of aluminum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Duncan Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 The best Z grill is a custom Z grill because the way the hood opens it intrudes into the grill opening so you can't just bolt up a grill that's flush. Look at any Z grill and they all have a big gap at the top to clear the opening hood. This grill is hinged with linkages going to the hood hinges so when the hood opens it moves out of the way. Then when the hood is shut it moves back into flush position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

konradlip Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 i was also wondering about this until i found this guy on instagram who done his grill that looked sweet. he said to basically buy a 1987 chevy pickup grill on ebay for like 60 bucks and cut it to fit. http://www.ebay.com/itm/81-87-Chevy-GMC-Pickup-Suburban-Blazer-Jimmy-Phantom-Black-Billet-Grille-Grill-/200782905571 here are some photos http://forums.hybridz.org/uploads/post-27427-0-23201400-1438527032.png http://forums.hybridz.org/uploads/post-27427-0-93140700-1438527141.png Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Gadsby Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 There ya go Keith! But then you would have to reshape your air dam I am liking the Chevy grill. Didn't think the straight bars would pull it together that well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zyork Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 https://www.instagram.com/p/9g19QLj1LY/ This was pretty easy to install. It's a grille insert from an 08 gmc Sierra. I cut the top two bars off and cut around an inch off both sides Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
