ha yeah that thing has like 5 names. air dam, deflector, chin spoiler, front lip, valance

I don’t have one currently. I was thinking about getting one. But I’m afraid of thrashing it in the snow. Lol. I may get one for the spring and summer next year. haha.

Grabbed a couple shots this morning before work. I think my front end looks really clean. New bumper cover on and cleaned. Got in good as a detailer with the new owner of a local body shop here in town, so he offered up paint work for free cuz I’ve been doing a ton of work for him. So I let took him up on it. Shop says he wants to polish it after install. Makes sense but I don’t know that I trust his guys and their polish products! Haha. Anyways also the new headlight housings I think look better now that I’ve had them on a couple days and playing around with them. Got my Vouke G8 LEDs into my high beams yesterday. Had to cut into the bracket a little bit so the cooling fan bases would fit, that was the best solution since I really like the performance of this particular LED. The output is awesome and I’ve had zero performance issues with them since putting them in in February.

Looks good Chase. But at certain angles, it looks like the fenders are a bit lighter in color. That's the bad thing about most shades of Silver or Champagne colors.
That's awesome that you were able to get some free paint work. I need some stuff color matched on mine but I'm too poor to get it painted. Hell, I have had an Escalade third brake light and corner vent covers sitting here for 3-4 frikkin years now.

They are a bit lighter. Had a new hood put on towards the end of the summer. So that’s newer paint and now the bumper skin is freshly painted. So they are a bit darker than the older paint on the fenders. Need to do a good polish on the entire front end to even it out a little bit. Hopefully this week before we get snow I’ll have some free time to do that.... lol.

Dang, Looks good. Bummer about the fog lights. You plan on getting the same ones or refund?
I bet the oven cooked your led strips, I don't think they're made for that kind of heat.
I vote get a lip. I have a lip and went through a snowy winter with no problems. Just be aware of your path.

Maybe tinted front windows and blacked out B pillars would look good.

Wish I was closer I'd grab your old bumper

Weird cuz the passenger side leds worked fine. And when I originally installed them I put the whole thing back in to reseal the glue and they were totally fine. I don’t know. I gave up on those. Lol.
Gonna hopefully just get replacements of the exact same fog lights if the selller will work with me. He should. Otherwise I’ll be an unhappy customer and won’t be afraid to tell everyone. Haha.
I do want my two front windows tinted just a hair darker. It’s on the to do list to. Lol.
Why would I want to black out the B pillars? That would look weird. Random black paint right in the middle of my truck?! And no black paint anywhere else hahah.

Interesting , guess move on and forget about the led strips, it's only best lol.

Match front windows with rears. It's what i have and its not that dark.
And you should know me by now, I don't have weird ideas nor want fellow members to perform weird ideas lol.
Im not saying paint your pillars black, use wrap. It will look good imo. It's like the nnnbs.


I did it to mine but it's not as noticable as I hoped against the dark blue
