I like exterior...not digging the painted interior. I suppose anybody with a little bit of hearing can instantly spot it as a 6 cylinder clone. Can spot a 6 at any rpm. Regardless, it's a nice looking truck.

I'm Thinking if i measure really well i could be able to cut out the middle portion of the older grill then fiberglass the remaining sides of the crossbar to the 08 Grille. kinda like a ss grill without the side vents. You guys think this could be do-able?
Here is a better shot of my "gap" while i was taking off the billet grille today.

I think someone did a newer LT grill and just cut the crossbar.

I agree with this. I think the crossbar on the LT grille is flat and the older crossbar like you have is curved. I think it would look awkward if you spliced it without replacing the whole crossbar with the LS one.

Your truck looks great but here's my $.02... 1. definitely ditch that badge that says "LS3" or "LS2" or what ever it says. 2. ditch the "SS" badges too. It is not an SS and anyone with any sense will notice that right off the bat and think you are foolish for advertising things you don't have. I have no problem with "clones" as long as the job is finished with yanking that I6 and swapping in an LS2, then by all means badge away. I get it the SS looks way better and that's what you're after and you have the look already and don't need to place false badging on it. I'm new to this forum and don't want to come off as a jerk or anything but as a Camaro SS owner as well I get really irritated when I see V6 Camaros rolling around with "SS" badging or worse LS1 badges. I'm just saying it makes you look a bit foolish or even like a , I hate to even use the term, ricer. Again I'm sorry if this comes of as rude but I just wanted you to know the point of view from the guys who actually do have an SS or know the difference. Your truck looks great like I said but it would still look great without those false badges.
