Z71 front grill surround on a 2016 high country?

[bbohannon]

I apologize if this question is a repeat but I had difficulty finding via search

 

I just bought a 2016 high country (love it) and I'm just now feeling the chrome grill surround and prefer the painted as on the z71. Is it possible to buy just the fiberglass z71 grill surround or are they sold aftermarket? I can't seem to find anything.

 

Thanks for the help!

If you've looked at the back of the girll, you are correct in that the plastic trim can be removed with screws and a few clips from the inner grill. It's plastic, not fiberglass.

 

I do not know of each individual piece has a part number that we can order, though.

I have not been able to find one, but i am interested to see if anyone else has found a grill surround.

GM only sells entire grilles. No serviceable parts.

An entire paintable z71 grill runs about $600 iirc. I have the pn in my email somewhre if you're interested.

 

I do not know if they are factor painted or if they come black and paintable. If the latter, you'd stil need it painted at additional cost.

 

The good news is that installing the grill is super easy.

That's not a Z71 grille.

There's a new one on eBay for $500 shipped and yes, you need to paint it to match.

Believe it or not, I am actually in Houston! I guess I'd still have to get the headlight surrounds also. However, the honeycomb grill is still different. I guess they surrounds can't be mated up with the High Country grill?

He is only looking for the surround to color match and keep the High Country insert.

If they are the same as the 14-15 I believe you can mix and match surrounds with inserts. Plus being on CL you can low ball him an offer.

If this is the look you are looking for, just colormatch what you got. Just find a reputable paint shop and they'l get it done right. The chrome is thin so they are going to strip it down and paint will hold really. Mine is the z71 grille I deleted the z71 with PS just to show how it would. Its basically the same grille.

I know you will probably disagree but, stripped or not, painted over metal/chrome will never outlast painted on plastic/fiberglass. Especially when it's on a grill that gets more rock chips than anything! I don't think this is the best route

The grille sorrounds are plastic same as the z71

Wow I stand corrected and that's very interesting to know. I just assumed they were metal seeing as it was chrome. Thanks for the info
