You'll need to get the ones off the Denali. You notice the sensors have a silver surround (donut around the middle) and then the silver circle in the middle, the middle is the actual sensor so you can paint the surrounding piece however if any paint gets on the center it'll jack'm all up. I'd just grab you some of the Denali sensors and throw'm in there, give you the full black look on the bumper and no hassle of "Service Park Assist" everytime you turn on the truck (I have to look at it everyday since putting my rollpan on and losing my sensors). Let me know if you have any other questions.

xenon usually does those keep your functionality type roll pans.

I was planning on doing it on mine so I could have my sensors back but my painter here in town told me they already attempted to do it on an 08 silverado and they had to call GM only to find out that the sensors where they are in the bumper is detrimental to them working. If the sensors are moved any closer together than factory they'll trigger themselves and if they angle even slightly down or slightly up they wont function properly. I'm eventually getting a steel pan for mine and when I do I plan on trying to make it work on my urethane pan right now and if I can get it to work then I'll try it on the steel pan.
