Custom Grille Opinions

I've been feeling like changing up the grille on my Suburban lately, getting tired of the lack of options for lenses and marker lamps for the early GMC grill. I love the open grill of the GMC, but hate the big open space under the marker lights on 96+ ones. Wondering what a chevy grill would...
