Rottie - Looks great! Im thinking about instilling the LTZ grille. How difficult was it to install?
dealer quoted me $205 to install the grill and the side chrome moldings.
not worth the headache for me so i'm gonna pay them to do it.especially the grill.
for the grill they quoted $135 . 1 hr labor.

Thanks Toi! Yeah, I agree... that's a really good deal. I've watched videos of guys installing them and it looks like a big project... and they knew what they were doing.

I had the dealership install it, which is where I ordered it from. No way I could've myself especially considering I'm a girl! Haha

They also quoted me an hour but it turned out to be a bigger job than what we all thought, took about 3.5 hours to install it plus the body side molding.

I am having a really hard time finding the chrome eyebrows for the fog lights, a lot say 'covers' and I'm not sure if it's a whole piece I need or if the LTZ eyebrows are the same as mine but just with a piece of chrome molding. Ugh, anyone know?

Wow it looks really good!! It looks just like mine but mines red. I'm indecisive as to whether I should keep the handles chrome or put back in the color match ones and install the LTZ chrome handle cover. Are you planning on buying the running board trim/roof trim also? Are your fogs aftermarket? If so where did you get them?

I may add the roof trim but I think the running board trim would be too much. I got my fog lights on eBay. I am just having trouble finding the chrome eyebrow piece, I'm not sure if I'm looking for an actual piece or if it's just the a chrome molding strip.

If you type up GM part number 22936485 it will give you the chrome eye brow either the left or right one and its $41 with free shipping, but you would have to get the other one. There's also the chrome eyebrow cover for it as well and they're $49.99 for the pair

I wonder which I should do, I'm more concerned about long term quality and durability than the cost difference....so I'm thinking probably the $41 for each side. Thanks for the info!

No problem. I'd go with the oem ones. Are you planning on wiring up the fogs or just installing them for looks?

I just ordered the eyebrows! I plan to actually hook them up, I will probably just tap into the parking lights, at dusk they kick on and so will the fogs. I think I got a switch with my kit but not sure which I will do, whichever is easiest and best. As soon as the eyebrows get here I will have it all installed and update here.
