2017 LT front end swap in Cincinnati

[dmorrisL86]

Nope. I've ran tinted windshields for years. Never had an issue. If I do get pulled over I just roll all my windows down and they usually don't say anything. Also by doing the dark sunstrip on top of tinting the whole windshield it kind of fools your eye into not being sure if it's tinted or not. Only issue is it kicks on the auto headlights alot. LOL

Haha I can see that being an issue. Seems like the auto-on sensor on my '17 is more sensitive than the one on my '03.

You have to swap the whole bumper filler and skid plate together. The skid plate looks very similar in shape to the indention in the non z71 filler but when placed side by side they aren't identical. As well it has tabs that snap into the filler piece on the correct filler. Other down side is that the Z71 filler has cut outs for tow hooks that our trucks don't have.

DeepBlue17, thanks so much for your help and clarification on this so far.

I do have the cut outs for the tow hooks in my front bumper… I have the tow package, so the tow hooks must come with that.

So your telling me that if I were to find just the lower bumper filler with the chrome skid plate piece from a Z71 that I could swap it with mine, without having to change around any other bumper parts?

Yes sir. Its a direct swap.

Thanks again for the help, guess my next step is to find the right part to swap.

I've got a few other mods I've done and a few more I'm thinking about doing too, so guess I probably should be doing a build tread too.
