What do you mean by "no bowtie frame"?[/QUOTE]

what I mean is; if you look at your grille, a part of the grille wraps all the way around the bowtie. if you look at jcomeir's grille it is blank about 3/4 of an inch on either side of the top part of the bowtie. FYI the all chrome grille is from the suburbans and tahoes, it was not an option for silverado's but it was stock for suburban/tahoe. A lot of times when you buy a replacement grille for the Silverado they will give you the all chrome shell. Some aftermarket grilles have the "frame" and others do not. on the OE piece, where the bowtie is inset, the grille wraps completely around the bowtie. on aftermarket ones sometimes it is missing the bottom half of the frame, some they are mising the top, and some are missing both.
