Aftermarket Billet grills

[avw7676]

After looking through the forum and doing searches - I see a TON of aftermarket grills. I'm looking for advice on ordering a billet (black) for my 87 GMC. Any suggestions, pros/cons? EBAY has alot for half the price of the traditional carriers. Appreciate any comments and thoughts!

If it's a consideration round tube grilles will restrict air flow. Almost all OEM grills are square.

I went with a tube style just so I could paint it, almost every thing on the exterior of my 86 is satin black. I figured if I’d tried to paint an OEM grill it would go bad before the rest of the truck. I ordered mine off EBay 10 years ago or more and it’s held up fine.
