DENALI FRONT BUMPER TO SLT? Can this be done?

[MSanchez]

Hello Everybody, and For most of you this may be a No-Brainer, but I'm very New in this.
I got a 06 Yukon XL SLT and I will like to "copycat" the front bumper of the Denali 06. You think that I should buy it from a Dealer,? if so, that I will need special brackets or Hardware to make the change? Hard or Easy to do.
Will be Thank Full for the inputs.


THIS PROJECT IS COMPLETE!!!!!!! PICTURES WITH THE FINAL MOD ARE IN PAGE 3 OF THIS THREAD.

yes it can be done, 2 ways you can do it buy the entire bumper hardware or just buy the cover and make it fit which consist of a little trimming of your bumper,i have done thios and is not hard here is a pic, let me know if you got more questions

Thank You CARCRZ, ........ If I decide to do just the Cover, when purchase will come with hardware or will use my existing one?

when you buy the cover thats all you going to get no hardware, but you dont need none all you will need is to trim your bumper and 4 screws to screw the cover to your bumper and thats about it its real simple.

you will need to modify your factory bumper to fit the denali cover. but no, you dont need all the hardware. no unless you want to do it like oem. but i went the cheap way out and just trim the oem bumper. and it looks and works just fine

Looks good carcrz

MSanchez - Plus the grill since it is different than the regular Yukon.

 

[MSanchez]

Good Point Fire 730, I was thinking of craft grill mesh or another mesh look at like grill.

To CARCRZ, that bumper cover that you talking about, will be purchase from the Dealer or a aftermarket?

buy it from whom ever has it for cheap

 

[MSanchez]

Thank you 1Lowoe04 good found!!! And with those I don't have to change the Grill Support part, because they got the cut for the one I got, samething with the fog lights, look likes the second picture kind that will match my existing fog lights, what you think?

 

[BLKCaddy]

I had that duraflex denali cover, Its ok but... its not made from good material like street scenes covers or the original denali yukon. If you wanted to original you would have to change our grille because the yukon and denali have different grilles and bumpers "shape wise" or... you could put a 00 denali bumper cover on! That wouldnt look bad at all. Im still thinking about doing that.

yeah thats all you need the bumper and and grille and you will need about 4 retainers to hold the cover on and the lights (turn sig.) and no you don't need #7 i bought that and didn't need it i still got it and as far as the lower grille you should get you a billet grille looks better

 

[MSanchez]

Thank You CARCRZ. and I assume that #5 is the one that I have to trim out as you explain in other post? and I just realize the lower grille situation

yes sir thats the one so remember when you start doing it start by cutting the fog light holes first, then you will see what you got to trim to make it fit right if i remember right i think the gap between the cover and the grille was too tight so by trimming down the corners will bring it down for that oem look.

Mr. CARCRZ, I'm going with option #1, the one where I buy the IMPACT BAR (#6 part in this Picture). Question..... DO I need to buy the Brackets, Fillers and Studs for that? (fig. #7, #8, #9, #11 & #12) I will try to PM you my cell for a detail conversation, if you don't mind
