Denali Grille question

Puckgrinder85 · May 20

Hey guys. Have a 26 2500 at4, but im digging the dark grilles on the denali and was thinking of switching, however I notice the grille surround on the lower and 3/4 up the sides is also black. I have a white truck and think it may look better if that surround stayed white with the black grille, question is, is that 3/4 surround part of the assembly or can that be swapped over? I see the white debalis are black in that area, just think its too much black.

OThink they are separate if I understand what you are asking. With that said, i would be wary of the 'Vader Chrome'. Mine started peeling last week all of a sudden in several spots. I have yet to take it in but did search online and apparently it is a common issue with those particular grills. It appears like its a very thin tint or something over the regular chrome grille. Don't know what if any warranty yiu would get if you just bought the parts.

So for anyone else looking into this, yes the surround fascia is separate and easily swapped. Yes i went with the denali vader chrome. Will see what happens, truck isnt on highway much and gets cleaned often. Seem as rock chips and bugs have a helping hand with the problem.
