The honey comb looks good. I don’t thing the sport looks bad at all tho, I’d be happy with either tbhI'd of swapped those restrictive grill inserts for the more open and better flowing honey comb grill inserts.
The Sport grill lets alot less airflow through. Look your sport grill over close,then compare it to the honeycomb grill,and you'll see the differanceThe honey comb looks good. I don’t thing the sport looks bad at all tho, I’d be happy with either tbh
While I do agree the sport is more restrictive, how much of a difference is that actually making? Is be surprised if it made any difference on a dyno and as far as temps go I can’t really see it making that much of a difference either. Has this been tested do you know?The Sport grill lets alot less airflow through. Look your sport grill over close,then compare it to the honeycomb grill,and you'll see the differance
On a 90+ day it stabilized my temps a fair bit,that was way back when my truck was still semi stock with a 203 thermostat,it was also before i removed the middle shutters.While I do agree the sport is more restrictive, how much of a difference is that actually making?

I tow a boat as well, about 5k pounds iirc. 21’ bow rider. Towed it home from Maine to ct no issues. Now I just pull it to the local launch 10 min away and slip it for the yearStock Sport grill here (no auto slats behind grille thought). On 95 degrees days towing my 4500 lb boat, I have not seen any hot engine / transmission conditions
What did you use to wrap? Been wanting to do this as well but their are so many options out their don't want to buy a crap vinylView attachment 538226View attachment 538234View attachment 538233
Finally got around to wrapping the Grille slats. Took a while, by far the most involved thing I’ve wrapped, happy I finally got it done tho, and it came out pretty well. I was able to pop the slats out by using a long flat head screw driver and pushing the tabs down
I used 3m 2080 m22 vinyl off Amazon. Don’t really have any complaints with it, couple you tube videos and a heat gun later and you ready to rollWhat did you use to wrap? Been wanting to do this as well but their are so many options out their don't want to buy a crap vinyl
But you have nothing to referance it to,so you don't know if it'll actually run cooler or not with the honeycomb grillStock Sport grill here (no auto slats behind grille thought). On 95 degrees days towing my 4500 lb boat, I have not seen any hot engine / transmission conditions
I should have said 5500 lb). The boat filled w/ gas / gear and on trailer is closer to 5500 lb (the Big Block Chevy 454 Mag in the boat is a good portion of the weight)I tow a boat as well, about 5k pounds iirc. 21’ bow rider.

For $h!t's and giggles someday when you have the boot behind it,you should pull the grill and see if there is any change in coolant /oil or transmission temps when hauling the boat.The trucks look kind of sinister with the grill out,so you shouldn't worry about it looking funnyI should have said 5500 lb).
