Color matched frontend pics....what do ya think?

[NJ04HOE]

After two weeks of driving a rental (300C) I picked up my truck last night and i'm not sure if it's because i'm sick or what but I noticed i'm not as happy as I thought I would be. To me it looks like the front bumper is crooked and the infamous gap between the bottom of the grille and the top of the bumper seems to bother me a lot more now than before.
I chose to have the chrome bumper replaced with the painted version along with the grille, I had them paint the bowtie to match and added an HD hood.

Should I do the washer trick myself to fix the gap or should I take it back and have them correct it?

Here's a few pics let me know what you all think about it.....

This is a Before pic

This is the reason I decided to make the change

And this is now

looks great man! That gap would bug me, too, though. I'd try the washer trick and see how well that does and go from there.

looks good bro!!!!!!! the bumper does seem like its lower on one side. ill take it back and make them fix it. they got paid ALL the money they quoted you for, so dont let them get away with half ass work they done. my 2cents

Gap is definitely noticeable. Didn't know there was a trick to fix that. Definitely take it back and have the shop correct it. Did you get the rear bumper colormatched as well?

I'm going back tomorrow, the back bumper is next up but I'm thinking of maybe a denali rear bumper or maybe an escalade I'm not sure yet.

And yes that gap needs to be fixed NOW. Either by you or them.

Looks good all painted.
Definitely take it back, they put it on and took off. They should of did it right when putting it on.

Carcrz, does that go over the rear bumper? How much you want for it shipped to NJ 07508?
Thanks

Where'd you get that? That's what I want eventually.

NJ04HOE, just something I notice about the new front, is with it ALL being the same color, and the only thing standing out is the lights and gaps, and imperfections are going to stand out more; dare I say it, maybe a stock chevy emblem in the grille could do it some good, throw a little offset to the paint. Just my 2 cents, but thank you for updating us, I'm really hoping to do this in the summer, and I cant find a lot of threads on here of guys pretty much doing a z front end convo

NJ04HOE it looks good just to me that the Z71 valence is way off color

I think that may be an optical illusion.

Looks great! Definitely would be annoyed with the gap too but I like the color matching a lot.
