I had my aftermarket Denali grill painted gloss black from an auto body shop owner for $150 and then paid the dealer $125 to install it. Was quoted $300 to wrap the chrome trim around windows, step ups, and fog light bezels.
Any pics?

Ok I just got out to Arizona and going to try and find a place around here from some coworkers. Hopefully it will be around the same price as you guys have said. I wish they just sold the rst grills stock

I stopped in my local tint world the other day, got a quote of 550$ to wrap the grill in 1 piece of vinyl and window trim,gloss black. Another 150 to smoke the tails properly,using laminex.
That's a great deal. Same exact price I was quoted for my grille and window trim.

i have 2017 premier in pepperdust with custom rims and black bow ties. Was considering blacking out all of the chrome or certain parts of it. Need opinions and methods. I also pulled up next to a blacked out one at the lights with all decals blacked out as well. Attached 2 photos of my truck and one of the randoms.

Good choice on the color. That pepperdust color is super nice. The way I did mine was debadge the Tahoe logos. Looks cleaner without them IMO. I blacked out the window trim and grille using a gloss black vinyl wrap. Cost was around $500 for the grille, chrome accents right above headlights and window trim. I'm looking into getting a color matched grille, that's my ultimate goal with the front end. I do love the way it looks blacked out and it has been holding up very well. Just make sure your truck is always hand washed and not ran through a gas station car wash. Here's a before and after. FB_IMG_1505855938209.jpg DSCN7803.JPG
