My White '08 Crew Cab Silverado was damaged by a pipe kicked up by the car in front of me and dented my Bumper, Grill and Hood. Insurance is paying for the repairs, which will include a new grill. It occurred to me that this might be a good opportunity to replace the factory grill with a nice aftermarket grill.

 

Any suggestion/recommendation?

I think with the white grill there are inserts in it for a chrome instead of black in the spacing. I like the look of those. What is the color of your center bar below the grill?

White grill

Chrome inserts

White bumper cap

Billet bow tie

 

If you're really crazy you could even have the lower fascia pained white too and then grab some chrome tow hooks to top it all off.

 

Rich will let us all know when the fog light kit comes out too. That'd really finish it up.

I say color match everything. The color matched grille with the chrome inserts would look awesome. :jester:

 

 

+1

 

 

 

+10 I agree. White on White...!

Can't believe I said that since I'm a Chrome kinda guy. Just make sure you get all your ducks in a row before the body shop does the work. I wanted a custom grille on mine after somebody hit and run the front of my truck and the body guy had already ordered the stock one.

 

So I bought the aftermarket one anyways then sold the stock one...

 

Good luck. Sorry to hear about the pipe. Good thing it wasn't a few inches higher!!!

    • Hey everyone, I recently had an issue with my 07 2500HD GMT900. My DRL’s stay on at all times. Right front turn and right mirror turn signal indicator stay on solid at all times. By “at all times” I mean the only way to make them go off is disconnecting the battery. I tore the headlight assemblies out, tried disconnecting the harnesses to eliminate bad wiring at the harness, I unplugged the headlight switch, no change and the mirror turn signal still stayed on. My first thoughts were : Bad bulb and/or socket somewhere, under hood fuse panel bad, bcm bad, tail light or trailer wiring problem, or some random short to power in the harness.  Possibly a bad ground but unlikely. I had a big clue in the fuse panel, it had a burnt smell. I started pulling every fuse that had to do with DRL or right turn/park lamp. Nothing made the right directional turn off but pulling the DRL2 fuse made the DRL’s go out.  After studying wiring diagrams, I found that both problems had that fuse panel in common, the bcm also controls both problems but knowing the fuse panel had a burnt smell I removed and disassembled the fuse panel and found a little corrosion on the printed circuit board.  I ordered a new fuse panel from Amazon for like $260. When it arrived I installed it, and put everything back together, the problem was fixed. I figured the fuse panel needed to be replaced anyway so that was a logical place to start. Hopefully this story helps someone in the future. Regretfully I didn’t scan for codes before I did everything.
    • That stinks. I’m sitting on the side of the road right now with the same issue. Never had an issue before taking it in for the ground strap recall. Now I’m outside of warranty and they’ll probably want $200 just to diagnose what they already “fixed”. 
    • I wonder kind of nuts and bolts they will come up with next? Jim
    • “It should be recognized, however, that there becomes a point where fuel economy oils do not make much economic sense for the end consumer—we talk about a fuel saving of ~€100 compared to a risk of €1000 Euros if the oil is too thin and causes increased engine wear rates. However, the benefit of these oils accrues to the car manufacturers. If their vehicles can save 1–2% fuel by using a special fuel economy lubricant, then that OEM can drastically reduce the amount of fines they need to pay.”   I liked this and the following paragraph as well but it’s really only touching the beginning of the benefits OEMs see from spec’ing these oils. After you factor in “out of warranty” service work and new car sales when these engines fail before their time, it’s a good racket for them. Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you!
