That is the ltz grille

 

Just noticed it had body colored mirror caps too. The ltz models had chrome caps. Is it truly an ltz model? Maybe they made them that way in 07?

They didn't start the standard "bling-bling" until a few years later, 2010 maybe. Yeah, it's for sure and LTZ, as I said it has everything, including the LTZ dash and options you can't get on the others.

 

The problem with the stock chrome grilles it you have to replace the ENTIRE bumper cover, we are talking thousands with paint. With the billet grilles, you cut out the old and then bolt the new one in using brackets behind the grille. (There are afttermarket grilles they look like the stock new LTZ grilles). Besides that, chrome just doesn't mean much on a white vehicle compared to almost any color. brushed and polished Aluminum compliments the color better.

 

Maybe it's because I have spent so much time with foreign cars, I'm NOT a chromed-out kinda guy. Prefer the clean smooth look to the flash. I believe they added the chrome, and then they removed a few of the was-standard-on-LTZ options, and made you pay for them, judging by the current selectable options on the chevy website, probably to offset the costs (?).

I know in 08 they had tr chrome handles and mirror covers and grille, reason why I went with an LT

 

I bought an ltz style grille on eBay and t clipped right over the stock grille. I will post a pic when I get on my pc

I bought a carriage works grille, and they make both styles. I prefer the bolt in rather than bolt on. I don't like being able to see the original grille behind the new one., and it sits in the grille rather than on the grille.

edit: found better pic

Found videos of bolt on and bolt in, and you can see how the second one sits IN the grille rather than on

BOLT ON

Did you miss the postwhere I said I was getting a bolt IN, and using a dremel........ Because I like the look better?

 

And I assume you were referring to this grille earlier.

 

Also, this wll blow your mind :lol: In 07 they didn't put the FlexFuel Emblem on every FF vehicle. I have the FF 5.3L. Even verified with the RPO code being LMG. Which, it turns out, does NOT stand for Liquid Machine Gun. Really disappointed on that one

My son's (used to be mine) '07 Graystone Metallic 'Hoe LTZ has chrome mirror caps. The only option on that truck was heavy duty trailer tow package.

Do a simple google search, and from this forum:

Have you looked into seat protectors, to go under the kids' seats? I think that they'd really help keep those nice seats pretty...

Local hospital will not allow you to take your kids home after birth if you have one installed(they made my brother remove one from his car before they released his son), they say its unsafe

 

Many carseat manufacturers say warranty and safety claims are off if you use carseat protector, they say it is unsafe

 

But it seems like BS. especially since they slip more on leather, than a pad with a grip.

 

 

So.......know of a "safe" one?

 

I see prince lionheart and summer infant make them, those are respected brands....

 

This one looks good: http://www.amazon.com/Prince-Lionheart-Stage-Saver-Black/dp/B000083GHY/ref=lh_ni_t

It seems like I have seen something about them on here... I don't know, as I don't have any kids, and don't plan to for a long, long time. :lol:
