I just finished updating the front end of the truck.

I had installed the 2014+ 1500 rear bumper on my truck - but I always felt that I need to do something about the front.

So I looked at my setup - chrome 2500 grill, billet bro truck grill, and the red GMC logo.

I already blacked out the billet grill as I posted earlier - but I wanted to change the front end of the truck.

I wanted my 2500 to look like the midnight/black series that the current trucks are doing.

So I picked up a 1500 GMC work truck grill and decided to paint it body color.

I rattle canned the rear bumper and that turned out really well - so I decided to use Duplicolor on the front grill.

I had some paint supplies left over from the bumper project - so I only had to pick up a few cans of paint to paint grill.

I sanded the grill - primed/base/clear coated it - and then wet sanded and buffed it. I think it turned out great!

While I was in there I decided to install the new fog lights that my girlfriend had gotten me like 2 years ago.

After I installed the grill and the fogs - I had to raise the front bumper approximately 2" to fill the gap between the grill and bumper.

I cut the 2500 brackets to clear the frame - and then I added washers/spacers to raise up the mounting points for the bumper and bolted everything together.

Here are some pics of all of the projects - I also removed the GMC logo and plastidipped it black. I think the final product turned out pretty kick ass:







I also filmed these mods - if you are interested I added all 4 videos to my Youtube channel below:
