Should I get a new grille?

Current:
Edge Hood with Stock XL Grille



The grille and hood do not line up on the corners of the grille, the grille sticks out a little on the sides near the headlights and the hood over extends a tad over the grille near the same corners.. it's a very minor detail few see but do you think it is worth it to buy an edge/4x4 grille?

If I do I'm thinking on leaving the grille stock and take out the bumper billet..

Your truck looks really good with billet, so I would get the 4x4 grille surround and the billet grill insert. The whole lining up of the grille surround and the edge hood would bother me too.

Only problem with the SS grille you would have to lose the lights behind it

I would get an Edge grill surround and another billet grill or a street scene grill. Like you said it's a minor detail that most wouldn't notice, but it would drive me crazy to no end.

well, it doesnt match up perfectly. That would bug the crap outta me! I say get the proper grill for the hood you have, whatever that may be.

Once thats all sorted out, keep the billet with the driving lights behind it, I think thats sweet.
