I like the look enough I may have considered leaving the guards off had I eliminated the holes in the bumper before the repaint, but I didn’t so they went back on early this morning.

With the nice new shiny bumper, guards, and Buick grille, the GMC grille is showing its age. I picked up a mint condition grille about 10 years ago suitable for chrome plating without any repairs. I had it soda blasting, then coated it with Picklex 20 and hung it in the basement. I’ve long since given up on the chrome idea, so it will be painted white and installed. The current grille will replace it in the basement as a spare (just in case) and serve as wall art.
