Changing up the Yukon XL Denali!!

[upwtoys]

Hello All,

I purchased a 2010 Yukon XL Denali about a month ago. It came with 24" Asanti's which weren't my style and I sold them this week. So with the sale of the wheels I have purchased some new items to change up the look of the Denali. This weekend everything should be here and I should have the modifications complete. Listed below are the plans;

-2" Leveling Kit
-20" Matte Black Method NV Wheels
-285/55/20 Nitto Terra Grapplers
-Painted to match black door handles
-Black factory style grille and lower grille
-Removal of door trim mouldings, and emblems.

I will take some pictures once its all complete for you everyone to check out. I'm super excited!!

Thanks,

John

Even the "before" pics would be nice. I'm currently envisioning a pink Yukon XL with black rims, black grille, and black handles...

You going to paint the chrome handles?

I can't imagine how well paint would stick to even prepped chrome on such a high wear item.

Also, where are you getting the black Denali grill?

Or painting this as well?

The ones on Egay are a not properly stamped........

Hey Guys,

Here is a picture of the truck currently.

As for the handles, I actually purchased factory painted handles from a tahoe, suburban, silverado, etc. As for the Grille I purchased a D-Spec Black Grill, and if its not properly stamped then I will send it back and go for a T-Rex Upper Class.

I will get some updated pictures on the weekend.

Thanks

John

You already have a black grill?

Look like it in the pictures?

Yet you have one on order?

Am I miss understanding?

Hey hows it going?

You are correct it does currently have a black grille however its the oem chrome grille painted black and its chipping everywhere. The paint is peeling in some areas, etc. and its really bugging me everytime I look at it so I purchased one that is manufactured originally in black.

Thanks,

John

Ah. That would bother me to no end too.

Lol

I have been searching for a black Denali grill as well. However it seems due to GM copyright issues the aftermarket grills cannot make a exact GMC logo cutout. So they make a big black square instead.

If you get the right one please pm me a link.
