My grille? Should i colormatch the chrome to the red or leave it? Also considered painting just the oval part of the grille around the gmc logo black leaving the chrome tabs that go between the headlight sand driving lights the way they are as well as leaving the gmc red. Hope that makes sense give me some ideas i have a spare grill so might be willing to try something because i can always change it back give me any and all feedback or new ideas. Also it has aftermarket inserts that are black horizontal bars that are in the opening hard to see them kinda in the pic

Color matching would look good imo you truck looks good with that bull bar on it

Thank u. I honestly wasn't sure about the bull bar I've never really liked them. But it was free so I tried it out and I kinda like it...thanks for input. I just didn't know if it would be too much read and if colormatch the grille do I black out the gmc logo?

I think the painted GMC grills look terrible

I would leave it the way it is. The chrome and black accent the red pretty nice. If it is all one color it just looks weird and IMO not that good. If you wanted to change it up a little I would look into new headlights and turn markers. Them look very old and used. That alone could spice up the front end quite a bit.
