That looks good, I'd love to see that setup with the chrome bumper still chrome with grille and headlights white. Did you have to take the headlight trim off to wrap? How is it holding up

Thanks Crobinson! The bumper was wrapped first so I didn't get any pictures of it with the bumper still chrome and grille/headlights white. Nothing had to be removed/disassembled from the truck during install. The vinyl is holding up really well for the most part. The only issue I have had is near the front bowtie emblem. The vinyl is starting to separate/bubble from the chrome in the corners (see picture below). I have to get pretty close to even see it so it's not a big deal for me. If it starts to get worse, I will just remove the vinyl from that middle grille piece and put some fresh vinyl on.

I like the mirror wraps you have Looks Good , just watched some videos on wrapping on you tube, amazing what they can do, even to chrome wrap to help with rock chips on chromed fronts, if you can do it yourself it is cheap to buy!  , they even have a color match graphite metallic wrap that would match my paint  Nice post

You should look up Inshane Designs in Harrisburg Pa. He does a ton of wrapping jobs.

Thanks, that's what I was hoping for, I do like that look, Im going to check out the vinyl option, definitely for the headlights as I may just buy the gm accessories grill. Thanks for the photos it helps a lot.

Is there a GM option that comes from the factory with a color matched grill and chrome bumper?

Not to my knowledge, z71 in any trim, get color matched and non z71 lt in any trim level get chrome grill and bumper. I haven't seen anything yet with split.

I had most of the chrome on my Summit White LTZ wrapped a couple years ago. Here are some photos:

I ordered a bunch of gloss white vinyl samples from MetroRestyling website. None of them were an exact color match but the Avery SW900 Supreme Wrapping Vinyl Film Gloss White was the closest. I ordered a 5ft x 12ft roll of it and ended up with a little left over. I also ordered a 1ft x 1ft piece of the white carbon fiber to wrap the chevy bowties.

Alex, your truck looks awesome with the wrap. I ordered my LTZ and at the time, I liked all the chrome, but 3 years later I wouldn't mind losing some of it. I'm going to have to look into this. I think my problem is going to be getting a color that matches well as mine is Siren Red.
