The grill on the pre-pro version is thinner and there are two horizontal beams insteadof one. These changes make the grill more dissimilar than Dodge's cars.

Just my $0.02

Ah, gotcha, but....I think that while not making it look exactly like it, Chevy tried to make the grill (on the concept anyway) have some resemblence to the Chevy family grill. One main crossbar with the Chevy logo in the middle kind of thing.

I don't really see the Dodge grill there, just the Chevy one. Of course, I've been cleaning the grill on the front of a Silverado for 9 years now (and the Tahoe for 4 of those years too), so it's just kind of etched on my brain.

I'll probably end up getting a billet grille anyways, so it won't really matter!

lol

For crying out loud, I wish someone would put a freakin spoiler on it! ^Nice enhanced pic, btw. Looks great!!! That's actually one of the better pix, right there!

Don't feel stupid....it was easy to be distracted from a small detail like 1500 v. 2500 on Silverado when the Camaro was parked in front of it.

I like that antenna fin better than the tall wire antenna which would go on the back right side of the car. Fine by me...keep it.

Georgianne · 02-15-2008, 10:52 AM

You don't think it will look weird with the reverse mohawk? I think it kinda looks funny. but I don't like the wire either so I don't know what would be a better option.

Thinking hard about it, I must say, I've never wanted a car as bad as I want this one, and I've wanted a lot of cars.

I've got to hand it to the General!

to all who have poured their blood, sweat, and tears into this incredibly wonderful project!

Well, it won't be like the concept. I'd much rather have the antenna not be visable at all. But, if one had to go on, I'd much rather have the fin than the antenna...and no, I don't think it will have a negative effect on the roofline. It'll look good and I bet you probably won't even notice the difference once you see it in person.

I have an Antenna fin on my tahoe and it works great. Hey so I am guess for right now there is no rear spoiler for this car huh?
