Wow...that's some nice work right there! Well done.

Thanks! Being a cabinetmaker by trade and also building custom sub enclosures on the side helps but it took me 5 or 6 different designs to finally come up with something I really liked!

Yup, always on when you're driving. . The lights is only shine to the floor and does not effect your eyesight when driving.

I agree. Doesn’t affect your driving. I actually hate driving without those now because I had them in my car and then moved to the truck when I bought it. So now I’ve had them 3+ years.

 

Sorry. Stupid app didn’t update so I thought this was a new post [emoji854]

Installed a new grille. I went back and forth for a long time but felt like this was a good look at a great price. Paid $112 shipped. Haven't hooked up the lights yet, need to figure out how to wire them so they come on with the amber running lights in the mirrors. Also unsure about the color. I like the black but it sort of reminds me of people who slap on fender flares without painting them, just looks unfinished. We will see.

Little more info on the grille. It is a two piece, so you can have each part painted separately if interested. Install was easy enough once you got the old grille off, but holy crap is that a pain. Fit and finish is nice but not quite OEM quality. If GM is the standard this is maybe 80-90% there, just a little more gap in areas than I'd like but worth the compromise for cost and all things considered for me. Led running lights look super cheapo, we will see how they work but I'm not expecting much, held on by the most tiny screws and the center one wasn't even bolted in right, I had to adjust. They do come with some of those waterproof connectors which is nice and seems to have enough wiring to route it nicely.

I have been eyeing this for a while. Have you hooked up the lights? How are they at night if you did? Also last question this the matte black version right? not grey?

 

thank you

Haven't hooked up the lights yet. Will post photos when I do. I am waiting to get the surround painted gloss black so that it looks a bit more OEM. It is the matte black version. Not sure if the fit isn't amazing in general or just mine but as I posted there is a bit of extra space on one side of the grille next to the headlights.

I'm excited to see how it looks! I think I will be ordering mine sometime this week. The lights I really only planned to use at night so my plan was to wire them with the headlights, unless the lights are bright enough for the daytime. I do like the idea of having it painted gloss black instead though. 

 

Mods never come quick enough for me though I am too indecisive.

Got my wheels and tires put on. Rubbing pretty good at 3/4 turn. I'm taking it in the morning and having another half inch lift spacer installed and I'll probably have to have a little trimming done still. 305/55R20s with a -18.

Front splitter. Srill has to be slightly modified and powder coated but basically it

Post pics when you get it done! I went back and forth on a black mesh grille for far too long. Cost kept me from doing it and going my current route.

No after pictures yet, too dark but upgraded to GrillCraft’s MX series grill. Going to reinstall my gmc emblem on the grill when I get some free time.

I like the lights, if i found a different grille i liked i would do it! I'd love to see the setup once done.

I'm sure it's gonna look great. I really wish they made them for the 16s. How hard was the install? Fit pretty decent?

It looks very clean! I hate the grills will all those bolts around the edge and had my eyes on this grill for a while. Fit and finish were exceptional!

I’m doing a how to so don’t want to spoil things too much but install was easy. 7 screws in total. Once everything is buttoned down it’s a pretty tough set up. I did cut cut out the bracket in front of the radiator for a cleaner look. Reinstalling the gmc emblem will look great.

Good looking truck! Did you swap the shark fin or paint it? I have the SLT in Summit white and don’t really want to tear into my headliner to swap it out.
