Help me dump all this chrome!

[jlozan2]

Hey guys,

 

I got a 18' Sierra SLT with the crazy good deals they have going on right now. I wanted to get the All terrain trim but it was hard to find at the time so I went with the next best thing. The amount of chrome on this truck is insane! I need help getting rid of it. 

 

Here's what I have right now:

 

Here is the look i'm going for:

On my list of chrome to swap out are:

 

Mirror caps

front bumper

Grille and chrome surround

Rear bumper

 

If you guys know of a place in Houston that sells parts or can paint them please let me know!

Check out this place: https://www.ecoological.com/bumpershellz.html.  I just found out about it through another thread.  Looks legit.  Also check ebay and amazon for covers.  When I first bought my truck, I hated the plain silver steel wheels.  Someone on ebay made a really nice set of "hubcaps" to make them look like nice black wheels.  I'm sure there's companies out there that do stuff like that for all the other bits. Here's a picture of my truck with the wheel caps on before I bought new wheels.

I've heard of bumpershellz and they look awesome. My thing is I want the chrome colors to match the truck color. It has to be the Cajun Red color.

 

Sick truck btw!

Easiest way is to find a wrap that matches.   I had the bumper shellz.  They didnt fit worth a damn and you still have to have them painted.  So its either have it all painted or find a wrap

I have Bumpershellz and they fit great. You can purchase the paint to match version. Wrap is thin and I’ve seen lots of complaint with peeling inside the wheel wells.

You should be able to order new bumpers from the dealer and then just have them painted to match.  The other option would be to take them off and have them painted, not sure how well that would work unless you sand blast them. 

 

The grill is the same, order one from the dealer along with the mirror caps.

 

Other option is to locate one in a salvage yard.

If you can find a shop that will warranty chrome cover up paint that’d be the way to go. If I’m paying big bucks for paint, I’m going to want a warranty to go with it.

So essentially, you are trying to make an SLT look like an All-Terrain package?

Yes thats what i'm shooting for. However, based on the responses it seems like that might end up being pretty pricey....

 

All terrains are very common here in texas so i doublt i'll find one that color that i can salvage parts from.

Yeah basically.

 

I'm stuck the same for the 2019.  I can only get the 6.2 in an LTZ or High Country.  I like the RST but no 6.2 option same for Trail Boss.  The High Country doesn't have all the chrome the LTZ has.  So if and when I get a 2019, I'll be doing the same thing. Dumping the chrome for painted parts.

[Sierra Dan]

If you can stand the Sierra Styling, an AT4 is available with the 6.2

Unlike most.  I like the Silverado better, plus the price is just a weeee bit lower.  LOL

The AT4 is hands down the best looking truck of all the new models coming out.... 

[Sierra Dan]

Oh definitely lower in price.

I did a mock build on the gm family first site on an AT4 fairly loaded with the 6.2 and it came out to $64K !
