Rocket Man's 2008 Bagged CC Silverado Build AKA "THE MACHINE"

Mine is the bumper and grille you're talking about. Same reason I didn't do the HD bumper

show him this pic...

Thanks, I will. I’m gonna do that bumper but without the lower valance since I don’t have room for it. Did you just leave your bumper on and add a ‘12 HD hood and grill?

Yes

Here's a before and after front bumper conversion. There was a lot of bondo on the original; they had welded a flat piece of metal to cover both holes and then filled and sanded the whole thing. View attachment 205938 View attachment 205939

Mucho better nice job!

Yes

Why do you want me to make a bracket for then? You don’t have a HD bumper do you?

I was thinking I can take my lower portion off and put the LED bar there

The brackets are made for my HD bumper but since it looks like I’ll be buying a 1500 bumper you can probably have them if you want. The light bar and brackets I think I’ll sell for the price of the light bar alone, like $60. I’ll wait to see when I get my 1500 bumper, it might fit that bumper too. I’ll let you know.

I ordered a complete paintable 1500 bumper with all hardware today, guaranteed delivery by this coming Friday. I’ll just take the paintable pieces to my buddy and do the install myself.

I had the windshield replaced today; that looks way better. I'll tint it now. My friend that owns the body shop recommended a shop that he said " guaranteed won't screw your stuff up" but isn't the cheapest. Turns out they WERE the cheapest at $200, done at my house. Others ranged from $275-$395. Dude did an awesome job and my stuff isn't screwed up. I don't like people messing with The Machine.

IDK. What's the normal? I've never had it done. We don't see that done up here much, if any.
