So to get it all straight we all agree with hd hood, PTM bumper cap, valence , mirrors, door handles. along with oem flares no badges molding or pinstripe. and a z71 tahoe black grille? Correct?

This. But if you are thinking about having a little more chrome then only paint part of the grille black (Like Dan's truck has right now but instead of pickle green it'd be black). That'd look pretty sick.

If the plastic is prepped and painted right you shouldn't have any problems.


My mirrors have been painted for a year now with no paint issues.


If you paint the textured pieces as they are right now with no prep what so ever, they will flake.
