LMC grille emblem backer?

[Alberto Armendariz]

I recently purchased a grille from lmc truck that doesn’t have the chrome outline all around, any ideas on how to make the badge look better when put on?

Sorry I'm no help, but thank you for taking detailed pictures explaining one of the reasons I recommend that people stick to OEM GM grilles.

It looks like crap IMO, I bought one and replaced it with a OEM piece after a year I hated it so bad.

It's a legal thing I think. The reproductions are just different enough that they're not an exact copy so GM won't bother them. Most people probably won't notice or care but IMO it's one of those things you just can't unsee after it's pointed out.

LMC does sell OEM grilles, but they're much more expensive. The cheapest place I've found to get OEM grilles new is from Amazon.

Biggest problem I have with grills is the mile long gap on the edges from the fender compared to the original

I think the crux is if they encase the emblem just like GM then they are forming the copy righted bow tie.

I get OEM at 10% over dealer cost and it was still expensive. Night and day difference in quality. Thicker, better chrome, workmanship etc.

I see what you mean. Man theres not much you can do. Unless you swap the emblem. Only thing I could see it a billet or chrome bowtie to blend i . But that's probably not the look you want
