'99 K1500 Suburban "Storm"

Been playing with this idea for a while, and im determined to do it, a 2016 bowtie in a 94-00 grille. Any suggestions on how to fill the small gaps would be appreciated!

Maybe cut down the area for the badge, and recess it into the cut out hole on the grille?
I like how you've gone through and put the updated badges on the truck, I think the color lets the updated look fit better.

Well, the "wings" are not perfectly horizontal, they angle upwards a little bit. And i separated the old bowtie and used the back piece as the base for this one so it kinda sits on the grill. So cutting the grille or bowtie isnt an option, since it would mess up the chrome on either.

You did give me an idea on how to make it sit down more though...

Chrome trim from autozone around the outer edge to hide the gap

That's a cool idea. I've been updating the badges on mine, but a late model GMC grille is ALOT bigger than mine.

Whats the smallest spacer size i can go without trimming the studs? I love my stock wheels, but want a little stance to it. Just enough to stick out past the body.

Get 2" spacers. They'd give you just about the look you're wanting.

I was thinking of 1.5" spacers. Ik they wear out balljoints and wheel bearings, but if properly torqued and only on a 32" tire, how badly will it affect it?
