What have you done to your K2 today?

I believe for the ones without the handle the plastic tether is indeed there to hold it incase the airbag deploys. For the ones with the handle its not needed since the two bolts hold it in place.

Ah that makes sense!

That makes perfect sense. I left mine on but if I trade it in for a newer model I will just switch it back out and take my handle. Save 40 large

Thinking about doing something along these lines for the new bowtie. Kind of an inverse of what you more commonly see with the black bowtie/chrome surround. I think it looks okay? It's just a Photoshop so nothing done yet - I do like it as is also though. Thoughts?

As is:

It does make the bowtie pop. Hard to even see it when it's chrome. Kinda blends in with the grill.

That's kind of what I was thinking. I've just never been the biggest fan of the gold bowtie in the middle of all the chrome/black. Might have to mess around with some Plastidip sometime soon. I've never used it before.

Changed out my chrome LT grill for the Z71 grill.

I love the Z71 grills, pretty much what made me buy my truck

I originally wanted a Z71 but I they gave me such a good deal on this LT I couldn't resist.

I bought my truck used and found it because the dealer had it marked like $4k under their sticker on the website by accident so I had to have it

Got a High Country grill to swap in place of my LTZ honeycomb. Thinking about the bowtie too. I am leaning towards getting a black one instead of the gold. Probably change both front and tailgate gold bowties to black. Can't get the color matched bowties any more...

Where there's a will, there's a way

If you buy the black bowtie insert, I'd just get that color matched at a shop (or try it yourself) if that's what you're looking for. You could try painting over the gold but it'll have that texture to it and may look a little odd. Looking forward to pics of your HC grille!
