Bought a LTZ grille in November of 2013 off ebay, then bought a house and had a kid, so it took me awhile to do much work to it. Here are the results of that:

I did a headunit install as well, so I wanted to do a rear camera, which meant removing the rear applique, so I picked up a Yukon rear applique and painted it.

Naturally less than a week after I put it on I lift the liftgate and it rubbed on a support beam in my garage, screwing up the clear on it so I get to redo it.

What's everyone's thoughts on the grille? I think I've seen one or two on here like it, but never in my color.

Its just a standard plastic chrome LTZ grill? Looks good. Why does the front of your truck look so high? Lol

Grill looks ok, but you need to change the bowtie. Make it black or chrome or something. Right now it blends in too much and just looks weird IMO

Like the grille but like Nathan said the bowtie blends in too much.....maybe a black or chrome border with color match.

Yep, standard plastic dipped in chrome, which makes it a huge pain to paint.

It's where it's sitting in the driveway, it's slightly lower in the front than the rear (have CCM kit on it). The driveway nose dives right in front of the vehicle.

I'd like to get rid of it completely, but Chevy makes that pretty tough with what's behind it on the bumper. If it was just holes, it wouldn't be too bad. Not sure what color I'd like though???

I just moved the bowtie over from what was there when I color matched it before, but the grill and background to the bowtie were chrome, so it looked a bit different:
