i have the same grille on my black 09 Denali. I love it. I had to paint the chrome piece on the hood black. I can tell you paint does not like to stick to that piece. I have painted it twice now. Looks killer but needs a repaint every 6 months which is a pain. If you find it for sale in black post up. You do have to get it blacked out. looks out of place with that in chrome.......

I just got the black projector lights to help match up the front. sitting in my garage and will be installed this weekend.

what kind of paint are you using? I'm thinking of just ordering that piece from the dealer or a body shop and having them paint it.....

what headlights did you go with?

Thx for the compliments guys. Better pics.

I want to return the truck to original state when I sell it so I can't paint the top chrome. I'll probably end up ordering that piece from the dealer and then trying to paint it. In the short term anyone have/know where to get a bug shield that goes under the chrome? The bug shield I got from the dealer on my '03 did. But the GM one on these does not.

Also tried my hand at my own tint. Got some precut of ebay. Can't tell in the pics but they ended up w/ scratches/lines that are clearly visible on the inside. So I need to remove it any suggestions on easiest way. Thx.
