Paint match grille surround mod

[DarkSky20]

Found an elevation grille on eBay with dark Sky metallic surround. About 14 tabs to carefully pry out and 4 (8)mm bolts held it in the grille. Called a few places about paint matching my grille and thought this would be a little cheaper and better route as it’s factory painted. when I get a warm enough day, I’ll be tackling this project of modding my Denali grille with the paint matched grille surround. Pic below if anyone was curious to see what the tabs looks like

Nice. Tempted to tackle this with my CarbonPro AT4 grill. Color matched looks better in my opinion.

Glad you got it figured out. I couldn't find the video that I have seen.

 

Please post pictures when you get done!

I just looked at a parts list and figured they came apart easy enough

Thanks for sharing!  Also on my list to get rid of the chrome grill surround on my truck.

I would love to dechrome mine but without doing the bumpers too on my SLT I think it might look a bit weird.

I made a separate post but figured I’d share here. Got it done yesterday. So many tabs holding the front piece between the bumper and grille on. I love the look though
