the grey gets dirty fast too?

 

[JochenWoern]

YES, as bad as BLACK IMO.

When it rains, the truck is a mess immidiately after, as all the rain spots just mix themselves with the dust on the truck and it looks terrible.

Join the club. I will NEVER buy a dark color again. I think white and silver are the best for NOT showing dirt.

Nice Kon man! Congrats on the new ride! For some reason thats my favorite color on the NNBS... I wonder why lol

Yukons FTW......congrats bro

Yup, just the bumper cover and the hitch cover.

The only thing I'm not sure of is if they make the esky/nali bumper cover without reverse sensor holes (looks in the pics like you don't have those). You might have to buy some and stick them in there without wires to plug the gaps. But I'm not sure about this so a little investigating might be in order.

They do make esky bumpers without the sensors... I know bc when I searched for one for my Tahoe I ran across a few.

Ordered my Esky appliques and my upper & lower denali grill today. They will be here tomorrow and the appliques will be getting painted tomorrow as well.

Well, it depends on a few factors ... obviously condition, but since you will most likely have to have it repainted anyway, you could probably get one for $200/$250ish that's got paint scrapes but no damage to clips, tabs, or actual plastic. You can find the hitch covers on CL/ebay between $50-$100 depending on condition, and depending if it's the earlier or later version with the two additional side tabs to attach it better to the bumper.

The OEM denali buumper was abotu $500 brand new and an aftermarket non-OEM was almost $400

Check with a bumper recycler. They are where the body shops get replacement bumper covers from and are usually just bumpers that have been repaired back to oem standards. Might be able to pick one up for less from them. Most of the time if its from a good recycler it will come primed and ready for paint.

The first time you will have to wash it, you will change your mind.

I will NEVER buy dark again and I definitely agree with Serge's color choice on the new rig.

Thanks for the link. I might hold off a few weeks to check craigslist around me for deals... i guess i don't HAVE to have all this stuff the first week I have my truck

It does get re-tinted Wednesday. 4% all around and 30% on the entire windshield.
