I put the bowtie on just to see if I like it or not with the gloss black grill center. I'll get a pic tomorrow for you. I do think the ami piece is sleeker looking.  I'm not sure if this black bowtie would look better on my color matched grill or not.

That helps, I've seen 2019 bow ties in all black...just didn't know about fit!   I will probably order one of those rather than using pastidip.   Thanks!!!

If it has those defects in in, just from shipping, I’d be concerned about a good sized bug or rock hitting it!  AMI powder coated should be able to take more impact.

Well this has been added to the listing since I read it last.....I bet he's getting a lot of questions like mine.  But still, he could have replied.  Thats the one thing that has held me back from buying....lack of contact.  But if he's sending you a new one........

Those damages aren't from shipping, it came in a sealed bag inside a decent size thick box.  Damage was done before that. No big deal,  another ones on its way already. I'll have it this week. Here is how it looks. The z-71 emblems gotta go tho its out of place.

That looks so sick man!!!  Would my grille look better in gloss or matte black?  I'm definitely buying a black bow tie.  It really ties in with the look.

Honestly I have a color matched grill, I'm not sure if I like the gloss black instead...its preference I guess.

The Z71 emblem is a real ****** to remove.  You’ve got to pull the grill and it has clips holding it to a backing plate that are VERY tight.  I ended up breaking mine off.

It will look better tho!  And if you don't plan on using it again, then no harm.

Ebay, I took the original one off my grill and this one goes on the mount with double sided tape. It doesn't fit perfect but looks fine to me.

 

The grill center is gloss black from gm.  The rest of it is satin or matte( how it came).

One last question....did u buy the grille from GM after buying the truck?  I have enough points to buy this (but I didn't know if it was gloss or satin finish):

      Replacing 2.7L on 2021 Silverado with 2023 2.7L

      I’m definitely interested to hear the end result here.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.
