new grill

[layne]

Our stock chrome Yukon grill was broken by flying debris on the road.

I really did not like any of the stock OR aftermarket grills available
Soo, I bought a used stock black plastic grill, and sent it off to be chromed (actually, Metalized).
I was kinda worried about how it would end up, never having seen this done before, but I really like the result.

Yeah.......that does look pretty cool. I went the all black route, but that does look solid.

Who did it?

M & M Metalizing in California.
I was pleased with the final product, and they were very helpfull along the way.

I really like the look of the Yukon Hybrid, and this is close to that.

That's pretty cool looking. Any more pics? Maybe closer up?

Looks good... it looks kinda like the Yukon Hybrid grille now!

Here is a close up.
The metalizing process puts down a layer of 'chrome' looking material.
But, you have to remember, the 'textured' areas will be textured after, as you will see from the photo. If anything was possible, I would have wanted the smooth chrome look, but it was not.
That being said, I like this option better than anything else I've seen.
It's hard to tell untill you get very close.

I like the way it looks in the closeup. At first, I wasn't sure if I liked it but it does look good!

Hybrid indeed.

What did it cost you to send it off and to have them do it?

What did it cost you to send it off and to have them do it?

I was $210.00 Including shipping.
I provided the grill. Used. Ebay .
