My '06 Tahoe Z71 was just about perfect, all original paint, etc., except for the front bumper which had a ding and a few small rust spots starting (the only rust on the truck). It was buggin me so I bought a new bumper and had a local body shop paint and install it, and while they had it apart I also had them refinish the upper trim piece since it had a couple gouges and some scratches. My wife would say it was hundreds of dollars wasted, since it really doesn't look all that different at a casual glance, but I figured you guys would appreciate it :)

Clean. That right side needs to be raised up just a pinch. Loosen the 15mm and raise it & retighten.

Passenger side? I thought it looked pretty good, and Lord knows the fit was not perfection right off the lot....

The body shop was very impressed with how well my eBay bumper fit :D
