...new to this forum.
I have an 07 Lt3 with Truxx 2.5 front/1.5 rear leveling kit, volant intake, 33" bfg at's on 17 x 9 XD Hoss wheels. along with other mods. ...it never ends. :Big Laugh:
So, anything chrome on my truck (including the tahoe badges and front grille) have been ruined by the mag chloride that CO puts on the roads here in the winter. The front grille looks the worst.
My solution on the the badges is just to pull them/ along with the bowties and paint/plastic dip.
The dealer will not warranty even though they admited the mag cloride is a known issue no matter what way you use or how clean you ceap your truck. :boxed:
So the grille is the first project. First, I cannot figure out how to remove the grille without taking that whole bumper cover off. Anyone?
If it can be done without the removal of the while bumper cover, I may jsut repaint the chrome parts.
If not, and I have to remove the entire bumper cover, I think I am going to go with an RBP grille in black and put black rivets/ black star on the grille.
Has anyone on the forum installed an RBP grille or No fear grille yet?
Both are cut out styles.
