Default Denali front cap ??

Ok, I'm in the process of finishing my Denali front cap conversion, I have the insert, bumber cover, grill, and waiting on my lights. But I'm wondering about those black plastic filler peices that attatch to the light brackets directly under the lights. Are the ones for the Seirra and the Denali the same and is there another plastic filler that goes across the whole front in the center?? Because I dont think you should be able to see the radiator support if you look in the gap b/w the grill and bumper cover. And I dont have a huge gap b/w threm either, it could be a little closer but I'm working on that. THANKS!!

i think they might be different since the turn siganls are different. i had to put in spacers on my bumper mounting to get the gap smaller.

I think they are different too. What kind of spacers and where exactly did you put them?? I was thinking of having my body man cu the bumber mounting brackets off from the front part of the frame and welding them up higher to close the gap because I dont want to put the bumper insert in a bind since its fiberglass reinforced plastic??

i put them on top where the bumper mounts to the frame and the bolt goes thru.

Did you knock the bottom mounting tabs up higher?? Because it just seems like you are strecthing the insert (putting it a bind). Atleast it seems that way to me. I think I'm gonna try chopping the brackets and re weld them. Thanks for the info. Also, I was thinking about making a plastic filler to put in the center so you cant see the radiator support through the gap- I have an extra tailgate cat thats kind of beat up I'll use that. Thanks again!!

How much of a gap do you have on the ends?? Is the bumpercover touching the grill?? Right now the cover is close to 2 inches from the bottom of the grill. I was wanting to move up atleast another inch. Thanks
