Front Bumper Cover/Bezel

Jasoned · January 1, 2023

Just wondering if anyone has any tips for removing the front bumper cover/bezel? The plastic piece that surrounds the toe hooks. I have a Denali and mine was originally chrome which I plasti dipped but now I would like to remove it and clean it up.
I have removed the grill and lower air dam but I’m just unsure how to remove it from the front bumper.

I replaced mine in 2018 so my memory is a little fuzzy, but I recall removing the bumper was required. It actually isn't too bad removing it though. I drive a 2016 Sierra Denali, here's a video on removing the bumper for that style front end. Once you have it off, you can easily see the screws/clips you need to remove to get the old bezel off and new one on. 2014-2015 has a different style front end so you'll have to find a bumper removal video for those years if that's what you have.

Hopefully this helps. I need to actually do this again as that bezel and front license plate bracket got scuffed up pretty good from someone backing into me. Good luck.

OK, thanks for the reply, I did have my bumper off when I did the body lift, but never looked at that bezel piece, I just assumed I would be able to see the clips I needed to take off from the backside. Mine is a 2016 as well and I think I’m going to replace the grille with something different so I will have a better look at it when I have that off.
thanks again!
