Tkenmore Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 Hello Everyone! I am new to the board but have been lurking for quite some time. I have an 08 Silverado LTZ Vmax 4wd. I love the truck, i am coming off of an 06 Dodge Ram 4wd hemi. The Chevy is a major upgrade imo. I have had my truck tuned (going to be retuned soon as i am not towing with it like i thought i was going too.) And have added oval step bars and tinted the windows. Pretty basic stuff. My question is, the truck is black, but the grill assembly is all chrome and doesn't look quite right. Anyone know where i can color match the grill or order a black one to insert? The truck is a lease, so i probably just want to keep the stock one and drop in a replacement. I love how the Avalanches look. Here are a few pics! Also, is a CAI worth it? any extra oomph?

NTMD8R_SS Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 You can get a work truck grille (black plastic) leave it like that or go the extra step and get it colormatched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tkenmore Posted February 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 Thanks guys. Too bad i clicked on that ebay item after it was done. That was a good deal. The GMParts one looks awesome, but 300 bucks is a little steep. I wonder how much it'll be if i go to the dealership. i might try that.

kuntrykid Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 something else to think about...... i also have the 2008 ltz vortecmax 4wd, if you are leasing the truck you might want to look into a way to preserve that painted bumper. i only have 16,000 miles on mine and it already looks like crap from rock chips. i'm going to add a grille guard and paint the bumper flat black to match the bar, but i own the truck so its an easy fix for me. i hear the dealerships can put on what aviation mechanics call leading edge tape, its a thin clear plastic tape that they put on the bumper and hood. also, my grille is starting to chip away too!
