Bug Deflector/ Billet Grille Question

I've done the searches and read the posts and it looks like if I go with a Bug Deflector (which one is the best, i.e. which one is high-quality and doesn't whistle/howl at speed?) then I can't go with the Billet Grille.

Is that correct? Do I have to choose between the two?

Speaking of grilles, besides the billet grille and painting my factory grille, are there any other grille choices for the Av?

Thanks again for your help!
 
irontrain is right, there is no reason why you couldn't do both. I myself have a DriverDesign hood deflector. It is very rigid and made of Lexan.

Can also bee seen in this image.

I have the lund interceptor & the CW billet grille. There is absolutely no way they would interfere with each other. I don't have any pics with the bug shiled yet, but they will be up soon.
 
I have the GM deflector and the CW billet Grill. ?:) No problems with clearance, but did have to do tape job on windshield moldings.

I think It actually depends on the type of grille vs. deflector.
I have heard of some people having to cut off the top tier of
the grille (part under the hood when closed) for the hood to
close with the grille and deflector installed (can't find thread).

That was a problem with the older e-bay "off brand" grilles. The CW and Stull don't have that problem.

 
Hello Fellas
I am a proud new owner of a 2002 Chevy Avalanche Z66 (Black) which I purchased on 10/2/02. I have got great insight on some mods by browsing this AWESOME website.

I have purchased a 9005/6 Xenon Plasmaglow for only 19.99 for both sets on ebay, Billet grille, and a Carbon Fiber Bowtie overlay kit so far....can't wait till I get'em.

My question is for Jamie on where you got that nice looking Bug Deflector and if it came with 'Avalanche' written on it? I did a search on DriverDesign on google, but came up empty....can ya plz help me out? TIA
