Chrome delete picture thread

[R32driver]

Let's see your pics after doing a chrome delete...

Got ours done last week after 8 months of ownership. Most the emblems were removed first week we had it. The grill is a factory gmc part that I installed a while back. Roof rack is painted and the rest is wrapped. Rear gmc logo I had sprayed body color then wrapped the inserts. And since they were doing some paint I had them color match the strip of trim on the fixed running boards for a little contrast. The door handles are ok for now but I don't really like the look of them so I plan to have them sprayed body color in the future. Fender gmc logo and front sidemarker lights were wrapped in lightest tint they had. Wheels are polished aluminum and no plans to change them for now as I like the contrast they have as opposed to going black.

And if you're comfortable maybe post the cost. Seems lot of folks are interested in going the chrome delete route and ask about pricing. I paid $1200 out the door for the vinyl and paint work and they had the vehicle for 3 days. OEM gmc grill was around $700 on sale and I installed it myself (I think it's around $250 to have the dealer install it).

With the light tint these don't look nearly as dark (did not want them dark) in person as they do in those above pics.

Looks great! In the process of deleting all the chrome on our 2017 right now.

Nice, makes the front end look so much better! Really like that color too.

NIevo - Can I ask what method you went with, and what the cost was or that you were quoted? I have a 2018 LS, so only chrome grill surround (not all the grill inserts) and headlight surround, 1st & second row window trim, and asked for the front and black bowties to be blacked as well, with vinyl wrap. That, plus removing the SUBURBAN logos on both front doors and the rear. I've gotten two quotes, $560-660 estimate and $650.

That just seems a little high to me, given it doesn't have the full chrome grill, roof side rails, mirror backs, running boards, etc. like on some other trims. The $560-660 estimate was $500-600 plus $20 per emblem de-badging, for what that's worth.

Blacked out 22 denali. Thinking about removing roof rails and debadging as I have my last 2 yukons and the tahoe before that.

Looks great!

I just can't get over how much wheel gap there is with the new Yukons/Tahoe/Suburbans.

Thanks!

GMC/Chevy have always been notorious for exaggerated wheel gap, imo. Hard to justify replacing brand new tires, but I told my wife when it's Tire Time, I want to look at some Nitto Ridge Grapplers to see how they'd fit, and see if they look a little less puny.

The blacked out grill surround looks pretty dope. I'm a fan.

Fully debadged, Chrome delete mostly with vinyl. Grill was painted at a body shop. Tails are tinted light smoke. And rear GMC logo is a vinyl sticker to be cleaner/smoother. Corsa sport exhaust with the Black tips! Super happy with the overall look!

About to trade in our Ford Raptor for a Summit White Tahoe LT! We wanted an RST but they are so hard to find right now. Just curious what everyone thinks is the best way to chrome delete? It looks like vinyl is a popular option with painting the front grille. Also curious on the price it cost everyone to do it.

We definitely want the chevy emblems, tahoe emblem, and front grille blacked out.

Making progress so far. Still have to do the roof rails and a couple other pieces of trim. I’m also planning on powder coating the wheels gloss black.

Man this is killer! We just brought home a White '23 LS yesterday and this is what I'm going for. Can I ask where you got the chrome delete emblems? We got the dealer to powder coat the wheels (tried to get black wheels thrown in but they stood firm, settled on them powder coating) and I've already de-badged the dealer emblems with some fishing string. Just need to blackout all the chrome I can now! Thanks! Great looking rig!

Also, love the window sticker. I have this on my grey Tacoma:
