I have a 23 yukon denali. Wife just got in an accident and crunched the front end. I had a painted black grill with all the pieces that were chrome up front painted or wrapped black. Now im back to square one and need to do it over again. I’ve seen some people buy the 5, 7 piece kit off of amazon or eBay and I’m curious if those are nice quality? Hold up to weather etc… Dont want to put junk on a nice vehicle. Any recommendations or personal experience please let me know. Thank you.

If you want them to last a long time, the best way to do it is to take the stock parts to a highly reputable body shop. Have them prep and paint them. They will hold up a good long time.. All my front-end pieces were removed, individually prepped, and then coated with an automotive finish. Four years later they're still basically like new.

You should def look at the threads where people have bought the black parts off eBay. I don't recall anyone not being happy with the quality of those sets.

I bought the 7 pcs kit off amazon US and it has been on the truck for a year now and looks great. I'm 90% sure the plastic used is a black shiny compound cause a rock hit it once and it not only stood up without but in the dent it was still black. Very satisfied with it. Actually yesterday I waxed the truck A-Z(detailed) and detailed the grill / front end and none looked to be over worn.
