"The Carriage Works grill is decent, however the grill did not fit well around the GMC emblem, with one of the bars being slightly bent around the "C" in GMC. I tried to adjust the grill to fix this, however not enough movement in the grill hole to aleviate the problem. I was also dissapointed that the spacing of the grill bars failed to hide the factory underneathe."

"I like the clean look but i wished the spacing between the billet would be smaller. It has wider spacing so yo can look inside the hood and are really not paying attention to the grille."

"Grill turned out quite well. The problem with the install is finding a convenient way to work on the existing grill as it is large and awkward. The mounting is via small tabs that screw on each side, would have been nicer if these were welded on. Take your time and it will turn out well."

"Well i'm a lady, who likes to work on my GMC Envoy, seeing the stock grill everywhere made me crazy. So I bought this one, and I installed myself, it came with color (pictured) instructions, and was incredibly easy! I totally recommend this product, it's sexy and turns heads (or maybe that's me...:)"

"This grill was extremely easy to install. I was finished in 20 minutes! However, the top mounting brackets were a tad too long and the top of the grill touched the hood when closed. I simply drilled another hole in the brackets to move them back slightly for a perfect fit!"

"The fit was allright. The one side of the lower bumber grill was not cut evenly. The hardware could have been better. The instruction pages have microscopic pictures which were of no help. The only thing that helped was its pretty self explanatory - cut center out of factory grill, put new one in, secure with screws."

Billet Bling

"Great looking easy to install product. Great value for the money. 2007/8 GMC Sierra owners be aware that there are differences between the 1500 and 2500 series in relation to the size of the grill cavity. The 1500 has a smaller opening that leaves the grill about an inch and a half below the hood of a 2500HD. I reordered the correct grill for my 2500 and it fills the cavity entirely. Which brings to mind the great help and attitude of Autoanythings employees. They handled the exchange courteously, quickly and followed up to make sure everything was satisfactory. They are a great place to shop and i am looking forward to tha arrival of the chrome wheel well trim I recently ordered. I hope there is no problem with the application this time, it is hard to find aftermarket accessories for "New Body Style" vehicles like my 2007/8 GMC. But thankfully Autoanything is right on top of new vehicle products! Sincerely Les from Tacoma WA"

"This Grill worked out just perfect for my Toyota Tundra Double cab.The grill arrived in about three days. I installed it myself in about 2 hours without any problems. This grill is not a bolt over grill, you must cut the center parts out of your original. But if you can follow directions you shouldn't have any trouble installing it."

"Received the Front main and Lower grilles. Installation was fairly simple, hardest part was the lower grille installation (holding and marking). But other than that very easy product to install and looks great! Took under 45 minutes to do! Just had to remove the black ABS cover between the radiator and the grille to install and the rest was like clockwork. Great Product by Carriage Works!! Very pleased!!"

Kinda open, not a real billet grille

Posted on 10/08/2007 by Daniel K. - 2007 Toyota Tundra (Weatherford,TX)

"I bought the black Carriage Works Grille for my 2007 Tundra. The shipping packaging was lacking a lot. All they did was wrap it in cellophane and dump it in a box. The grille was bent a little from the cellophane wrap and had to be straightened by hand. The edges were also rubbed a little since cellophane is NOT a packing material cushion. Instructions were OK, but they failed to really show how far back to mount the grille. If you mount it too far forward (like the picture shows), then the screws and bolts don't fit due to a lower support bar. I had to disassemble the grille farther than the instructions showed, grind down the screws to make room so that it could be put back together. I also had to cut my own allen wrench to use on the screws since they did not provide one and a standard allen wrench would not fit. I now have an allen wrench that is almost too short to use anywhere else. I have seen the polished Carriage Works grilles and this one looks totally different. It says "Billet", but it's not billet. Billet means it was machined from a single block of aluminum. This one is welded aluminum. Also, the polished aluminum grilles have a lot more slats and are closer together. This one has far fewer slats, meaning they are farther apart and allow more bugs and rocks to hit the condenser. I made it work, but it's not the same quality as a real billet grille, even though it costs the same amount. In the end I think it looks pretty good. I had to alter the install a little to get it to fit. If I didn't have my angle grinder to make it work, I would have been really pissed about this product. It gets 2 stars only because it looks good in the end and it's the only black grille available for the Tundra right now."
