Bumpershellz grill overlay

[Awwmann]

Was speaking to grant evans from bumpershellz (ecoological) about making a grill and headlight overlay for my 16 silverado to remove the chrome. He said it is something they are interested in making if there is a market for it . Just looking to get an idea if anyone other than me is interested in something like this  . It would overlay the chrome like the bumpershellz do thanks

I’ve been waiting for a front bumper for a 2015 sierra for over 2 years. Originally they told me it was about 6 months away from production because there was a lot of interest in it. A year later I reply to the original email about it, still “in the works”. Going on 2 years now, there’s new body styles out to start working up new parts for, I gave up.

 

I hope it works out for you.

I’m working with them on a group buy for our forum, we delayed kickoff so they could finish the 14-15 GMC front covers. The 2014-2015 covers are done. They said they’ll be ready by the 19th so check back here for the group buy.

Bunch of people were liking to pick up covers.

This is what they sent me.

Can't wait to see it installed, I've been waiting for them to be released patiently just as long [emoji23]

You and me both!

Isn't it cheaper to wrap, dip, paint or potentially even replace over these? What is the benefit?

Niiiiice!

You don’t need to remove the bumper is the biggest plus for me. I’ve looked into powder coating, but I’ve got to take them off myself to drop off. Not happening.

Chrome is a tough finish to paint over. Lots of body shops will avoid it if they can or not warranty the work as long. That’s not to say all will avoid but there’s a reason why a lot avoid painting over chrome. Takes a lot of prep to get it right. Prep = time = money.

 

I have the monkey shit Brown Sierra (bronze alloy) so buying the paintable covers and painting them myself is easier and cheaper. I wouldn’t paint chrome but I can certainly paint Abs no problem. I can’t find a wrap that matches.

X2 on this. Went through the same thing getting my Deep Ocean Blue Metallic pieces painted. Had to find abs plastic parts to replace the chrome ones.

I’ve got the back bumper cover ready to be painted...just waiting on the buy for the front [emoji1360][emoji1360]

Good to know. I've got black so it's less of an issue with paint match color and if you don't want to go through the cost or hassle of replacing it with actual painted bumpers (as opposed to painting over chrome) it makes sense. Just didn't understand why originally.
