hey guys, so I have a 2000 Tahoe LT (new body style) and i wanna put a denali bumper and possibly grille on the car. What all would i need to do this conversion? how would it be done? is it possible? thanks for the help! the denali bumper would be the 2000-2006 body style

You would need a Denali hood, grille, headlights, turning lights, bumper, and fenders.....

and yes it can be done.....

all of the bumper brackets are different too and will need the denali type fog lights if you choose to run foglights.

Not worth it IMO, you have to change everything. Just like Bigah said.

I'd rather throw that money into rims or a sound system.

i wanted to convert mine to the caddy front, but too much work and pricey. im satisfied with the cowl hood and ss bumper

thanks for all the info on it guys... it definitely sounds like a high budget job and a lot of work.. maybe i just need to find a sick grille... i just really like the big circle mesh grille look thats painted to match. i dont know where i could get one of those without converting to the denali front end.. any ideas? and SSmurdered, was it hard to convert to the ss bumper?? im gonna do that soon but dont know how to set it up and install.

it is a pretty easy install if you own a few hand tools. just take off the front tow hooks, fog lights, and bottom valance. then slide the ss cover over the exsisting bumper. they say to attach it with 2sided tape, which i did and it was snugg as all hell. but for extra security i added a screw on each side in the wheel wells. i also had to do a bit of trimmin on the edge of the bumper coverin the wheel wells cuz the 26s rub just a little. all said and done it took about 30 minutes to put on.

Damn it's actually just a cover that slides over the existing cover?

yup. its so snugg you gotta literally strech it to fit over the corners of the stock bumper. if you didnt use 2sided tape or screws it would still be secure.
