Justin101714 Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Anyone willing to swap their painted black grille for my chrome one? Must be a 2016 or 17. Just thought I'd throw it out there.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk We are on the same mission! Same truck and desires. Have you seen the new grilles on Chevy's website? They have color matched grilles with an embossed "CHEVROLET" across the top. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin101714 Posted April 8, 2017 Author Share Posted April 8, 2017 Yea I saw those. Wouldn't mind having one I guess. I'd like to get those headlights too. They are just crazy expensive.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schooner44 Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 AllTerrainX had one of, if not the best, looking trucks on here. His is a perfect example of why to use plasti-dip. If you saw his truck or someplace, I doubt you or anyone else wouldn't think it was professionally done. For less than $50 you can completely transform the look of your truck...Just my 2 cents. I have 8 cans of plasti- dip awaiting a new home on my rims, grill, headlight trim, bumpers & badges. I'll post some before and after pictures once it's done.

I guess I get that, since you have a gloss paint job. I have my truck wrapped in a matte paint protection film, so a matte plasti-dip works out for me. They do have plasti-dip glossifier, but I dont know how that looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Check out this video. It shows what the glossifier looks like. It's probably worth the $20 to try it before getting a whole new grill.

Bowtie619 Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 I am not a fan of the glossifier. It is extremely tacky/sticky. My fingerprints were all over it after I was done. I was happy with the look though and saved a ton just doing the plastidip and then adding the inserts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuddTX Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 This is just slightly off topic, but I have a 2015 GMC Sierra SLE, and love the look of the Denali chrome lattice grills, and thought about installing a 3rd party to replace my grill But wondered about the air flow, and as the most important thing that the grill does, is let air flow to the radiator, I did not want to potentially sacrifice cooling efficiency for good looks, so I just kept the default grill, and kept my money too!
