What chrome area of the grille?

The the center strip that goes all the way across and clips on each side between the headlight and turn signal lights

Leaving the actual grill plastic mesh black

Thats kind of why i didn't want the HD bumper. I like the color match bumper that came on my Z-71

When mounting the HD hood on your tahoe, How are you mounting it? With the 3 bolts into the hood with your existing tahoe hood bracket or using the HD hood bracket and mounting it to the hinge with the 2 bolts??

I just bolted the hood directly to the hood bracket and hinge. I did not have the other bracket and hinge so there was no option. I have had it off and on a few times. From that angle the paint looks shiny...standing by for mount pics....

That's my stock hood lol. Said my HD hood should be done week after next. Patience my son!

I took the chrome plastic off and left it at the body shop for color match. I have the center black grille I'm going to clean and put a few coats of fresh paint on. I test fitted it today to see how much i was going to have to trim. looks like 1.25" at least

Heading out of town today for the rest of the week. Going back home to Memphis for the huge BBQ Festival. But had to swing by the shop and check on the hood!! She should be ready when I get back next week!!

Also, what did everyone do with their stock hood? Keep it in the garage or what?

Probably get the body shop to help me out and use a little cutting wheel or something

I stuck my OEM hood in my shed. I actually remounted it when I had the hood repainted after some defects occurred. BBQ....

The grille is a 3 piece design . Mesh and border are one piece. Chrome bar is one piece and bow tie is another. All held on in the back by 7mm nuts

Go back to post #74 on my thread and check the link to @05Single thread I posted. It goes right to the page where he cut his HD Grille. Check out post #552 it’s has the grille broken down into the pieces
