07-13 sierra denali/all-terrain front bumper same as sle/slt?

Cals400ex · January 6, 2014

I know the front bumper on the 07-13 sierras are painted. I have a 2013 slt with the chrome front bumper. I have a decent dent in mine so I would like to replace it anyway. I wanted a body-colored painted bumper. Are the denali/all terrain bumpers a direct fit? I know I could get another factory chrome bumper but I've heard of issues with paint sticking long-term. So, a denali/all-terrain bumper might be the best bet if they are a direct fit. Any suggestions?

Yes, direct fit. '07-'08's do not have the cooling slot.

does the cooling slot really matter?

2017SierraSLT · January 11, 2014

GM put it there for a reason, probably to enhance cooling. I think the '07-'08's have a cleaner appearance without the slot.

Ok, this is my first post but let me make sure I am comprehending this correctly before I waste a ton of cash. I have looked all over the web with no clear cut answer. All I am wanting to change is the bumper cover itself (the chrome piece). A denali bumper will bolt right up? My truck was hit and ran at the bass pro shop in tn over the weekend and the rear bumper is gonna have to be replaced. while he is in the shop my buddy owns I'm gonna have the front done as well. From what I have just read here the denali bumper will bolt right onto my truck. I am not wanting to replace the grilles and all that jazz because this is what I like to call project no chrome. All I want is a paint to match denali bumper on the front of my truck. So once again direct bolt on, no additional parts needed, fits like they put it there? Oh I guess I should mention that my truck is a 2012 sierra sle2.

The Sierra, be it SL, SLE, SLT, Denali, All Terrain, Z71, or any color: the year should be the only difference if it fits or not. The frames are all the same mounts within a specific year range. If you leave a specific generation year, you will not fit but a 2011 SL bumper should fit a 2011 Denali.

Just asthetically, the 2007.5 & 2008 GMC front bumpers are solid- w/o that cut-out slot in the top, center (that all 2009-2013's have).

I have a Denali and I would highly reccomend getting a clear bra on that painted bumper

That brings me to my next question. Any of you guys know anything about the 3m film?

I used xpel and couldn't be happier.. Have about 8000 miles with it on my truck and it's been great. Wasn't bad on price too. I only got the steel painted part of the bumper done and a strip on the hood. The plastic dosent chip. Only paid about 280.

Google xpel clear bra
