Factory grill mesh inserts.-- replaceable ?

Jeff5347 · March 25, 2019

I'm curious if the inserts are replaceable. I know I can buy a whole new grill, but I'm only looking to replace the broken mesh. I would even go with the straight bar looking inserts like the z71 and I'd like black if possible. Unfortunately thru all my searching I haven't been able to find just the inserts only a whole grill. My mesh broke due to some wood thrown up on the highway so seeing if anyone has any links to places for just the inserts

Just have to buy locally on Craigslist or the marketplace. They’re not sold separately. I’m in the same boat. I want the high country inserts to swap into my grille.

Here is a site that has that but its out of stock..https://www.autofitparts.com/grille-insert-14-15-set-upperlower-chr-whoney

Yea I've been searching FB marketplace and cl. I see some on there but can't swallow 3-400 to replace the whole grill for a cracked mesh insert. Would love either of these 2 grills but just want something not broken. Lol.
Thanks for the link. I never saw this site. Definitely appreciate it

Might check with some local body shops to see if the have any broken grilles out back in the junk pile you could rob the honeycomb out of for a couple bucks.

I’ve got a chrome set of inserts (like in your first pic) that I’d be willing to get rid of. Just let me know.

I've got a set of the high country inserts. I tried putting these in my 15 LTZ z71 grille and it did not line up right. PM if interested

What year are the inserts from?

J_Mas6.2 · April 3, 2019

they are from a 2014 or 2015, i think the LTZ Z71 grille is slight different on the back

Does anyone know if this is doable on the 16 to 19 grille too? My lower insert is broken in one spot and if I could get away with just replacing that, that would be great.

My 2016 also has a crack on one part of the grill from something kicked up on the highway. Luckily nothing got broken off, just cracked. I had looked into replacing and seems like the entire grill would need to be replaced and that would be expensive. But I have seen "inserts" that are supposed to fit right over the existing grill. Much more economical but I have been too lazy to try as I'm the only one that knows where to look and see it. Here is just an example of one for the upper in black but chrome ones can be found as well. I'm not recommending this seller, just showing it to you.
