I've been thinking of doing this for a good while now. When I saw another member with a black truck with similar lights to these, I knew I had to get it done. How did you cut into the bumper?

Grinder with a metal cutting disk. I was a little skeptical cus I know when metal heats up it changes color but it didn't happen on the bumper.

Yes they are, OEM came installed on the truck when purchased new

I wonder who makes those for Chevy? Surely they can be found cheaper somewhere else.

Yes ,those are the GM 22" SEZ accessory wheels.

My dealer told me that the plant that makes the oem Denali 20" chrome wheels blew up back in October of 2014 in China killing 60 people...

Gmc is not getting them till they can get another plant to make them, So the new Denali's are showing up with aluminim 20's and you get a $400 discount for not getting the chrome 20's. But we made a deal, I traded those stock tires/wheels, plus 2G to upgrade to the GM SEZ 22's. Then they had to reprogram the truck 1 1/2 hours of labor so the sensors in the different wheels would jive with all the computers controls..

They are major bling and probably ride a bit rougher than with the 20's, but with 2015 Denali came stock with the new magnetic ride control suspension, which make it still ride like a huge old Cadillac-Smooth!....

How many cans of plasti dip did it take to do your running boards?

 

And how much did it cost to get your handles and mirrors color matched??? My local body shop quoted me $277 to do my handles and body molding pieces

One can did 3 coats on each. Then I used the glossifier and did 2 coats of that. I did the handles and mirror caps myself. $60 in supplies and paint.

Put about 540 miles in 2 days time on the truck. She sittn at 97xx miles now. Almost to that 5 digit mark!! Wouldn't doubt if I hit it before the end of the week as much as I drive this truck, and it only gets better with time!

 

Just did the math and with the miles I have on it and the days I've had it, I have averaged a hair under 86 miles/ day. That's a good bit

I'm at about 10,600 on mine now but I'ave had it for 11 months now. I put 400 miles on it in one day not long after I got it when I did a day trip to the beach and 100 of those was just driving around at the beach. I also did a 2nd trip later that summer. I drove the hell out of mine during the summer, but since it started to get cold I haven't driven around as much. And now working 6 days a week I don't really have time to drive a lot since on Sunday I want to just sit at the house watching NASCAR lol.
