Colormatched Bumpers with Streetscene Grill
Do to my wife hitting a firehydrant a denting my from bumper I took the opportunity to upgrade to the newer style bumper with the cut out and color match them. I also managed to work in a streetscene speed grill for the grill and valance. I only got some camera phone pics from the day we finished the truck. It was raining and cold and has been since then so I'll try to take some better pics when it warms up.
Grill off of the truck.
All the damn hardware for the front bumper!
Back of the front bumper with the streetscene valance grill in place
Finished painting bumpers
Finished painted grill trim. I cut out the factory grill and came up with a way to mount it. I personally think this is better b/c I you can't see the stock grill behind it. I also did this for the valance grill.
Finished Front
Finish Rear
Did this project a few months back buy I don't believe I posted it on here. Camera molded into factory style tailgate handle bezel.

Thanks man! I was going for the "is that a special package GM" look. Where if you didn't know any better you would think it is a gm special edition. I wanted to give probs to Baddillak on this site cause he is the one who did the painting for me.

Looks great!
Do you have a link to the painted tail gate handle? or a PN for the camera handle? Id like to do the same on mine when I get around to putting a double din/nav in it....

This link is to gmpartdirect. I order the one for the 5.5ft box but I'm pretty sure they would all be the same. One thing to note is that all the ones with the camera whole will come with the whole for the lockset. If you don't have the lockset you will have to fill it in like I did or you can just buy the lockset and add it at that time, which is what I wish I would have done in the first place!

The camera I bought on e-bay. Search this on ebay: Wide Angle 150D Reverse Night Vision Camera XS 0.8in the seller should be Kawamall.
Let me know if you got any questions.

Just got finished looking at your build thread for your 04 and all I can say is WOW! Wish I lived near Cali cause I'd pay to take a ride in that thing!
