Default Fender bender, Maybe a little upgrade. Post up your GMT900 Sierra frontends

Well the wife bumped into someone stopped at a yield sign... Didn't do a whole lot of damage, just pushed the front bumper back and broke fog light mount and probably need a new lower valance... All the mounts and sheet metal are fine. Which brings me to this, I know a good body guy who will color match my mirrors and handles etc for little of nothing, I'm just wondering what all is out there for lower bumper inserts, paintable valances etc, I'm going to put a new chrome OEM bumper on it, but havent considered any upgrades until now.


So anyway, post up pics of your front end, modded or not....

Go with the 09+ bumper that has the hole in it, looks better IMO. You can order everything off ebay already paint matched front end wise and its a lot cheaper than the body shop.

Haven't dug on eBay yet, I am gonna get some other stuff color matched while I'm at it. I want so bad to lower it some, with the addition of the HD to the family I may be able to swing it. Anyone have any eBay stores or references to these painted parts?? Are they worth a ****?

I'd honestly rather pay a little more locally and make sure the paint is right than buy something of the Internet and deal with a **** pile of orangepeel and bad prep etc.... I dont mind polishing or laying fresh wax etc... But unless it's cheeeeeap, I'm not doing the finishing work, otherwise, what's the point of buying it already done??

I have my complete 2011 front bumper I'd be willing to sell with fog lights and everything but it's chrome.

The NNBS GMC front ends are one of the best looking ever, I like the all color matched treatment with Denali Grille.

I more less inherited it... I have done work on it for the guy for a long time and he had to relocate pretty quickly and he couldn't take it. We decided on what it would take for me to relieve him from it and that was that... I basically plan on cleaning it up and fixing a few minor things and turning it for a profit. I don't need the thing (unless it was a Dmax) trying to feel the market out now to see what I can get for it. I picked it up for a song so it was a no brainer...

Now I wish I would have held off because between that and having my driveway paved, my extra cash has been kicked in the nuts pretty hard LOL.
