Color match the bumper and while its at the shop color match your mirrior covers, and door handles!!!

Haha, that was already in the works. I have my shop color matching everything. The only thing left to decide on was the bumper/rollpan route. Thanks for your input guys. I was already leaning towards keeping the bumper (or getting another one) simply because I didn't want to sacrifice the hitch or the spare. I was just struggling with it because I have always been a fan of how clean the roll pan looks.

Color match the bumper, I was leanin toward a roll pan after some one I work with secretly bought 1 for his Yukon then his wife said no and had to sell it but even tho I like how it looks I don't think I would wanna lose my bumper, look like sumthin is missin if it's not lowered plus how you gunna clean the rear windshield without that booster step, I'm about 6' 2" and I have a hard time reachin it

Add another vote for color-matching. Unless all you use your truck for is looking cool, you'll probably need the bumper (if someone hits you), the hitch, and/or the spare. It is a big bumper, but damn, that's what bumpers are for.

I posted about the Avalanche bumper. I actually have one in the works except mine won't have the backup sensors.. I saw it on a Suburban here a few weeks ago and loved how well it flows with the lines and lessens the gap between the body and the bumper. I should have it ready and installed in a month or so along with the Escalade running boards, front bumper and grille..

Definitely post pics of that when you get it. I think for the time being I'm going to go ahead with the color matching of the stocker. I am going into the shop in a week or two most likely, I am just awaiting purchase of my 2500HD since the ebay route didn't work out so well. Then I'm in and painting the stock one will keep me from having to go back anytime soon which is definitely appealing and I can take my modding to lowering and the exhaust. I am definitely interested in the possibility of the 07 Avalanche bumper though so keep us posted.

You know it's a PITA to paint chrome right? Hope your paint guy knows what he's doing. Guess it doesn't mattere if you're not gonna have it permanent..

I will definitely show what it looks like. I'm really looking forward to this..

Aw shit man. I just responded on your HD hood post. go read it..

My paint guy rocks. Used him for the past 5 years and he has done my families work as well. He definitely knows his stuff. He said he would have it blasted before painting it to remove the finish. In any case though, I trust him with my stuff. He has not done me wrong yet!

Nice.. Looks like he's doing it right!!!
