Default Colormatched.. sorta

Got my new grill, roll pan, and some underhood goodies painted... it wasn't blended so all the stuff looks a little more goldish than the actual truck..








and of course, the old:

Nah, I think I like the stock grill better... I'd have to order a new one because the old one went through an accident and just heated it and hammered it kinda straight, lol..

Looks pretty good! I like the factory grille, too. I'd do something with that GMC logo. It looks out of place, for some reason. I personally think it would look good red. I'd also invest in colormatched door and tailgate handles. Great work, thus far!

It came out really good. I have the same truck/color as you except mine is a crew. I'm about to put the color match handles on. I would also like to do my mirrors,tailgate,and like you did with your grill. I wish I would have went with the full billet like your old one. I would paint the GMC same as your truck. Oh yeah I'm right down the road from you in Gramercy.
