2017 Z71 Grill Upgrade

[Mario Vazquez]

Timeswelding did you ever find the chrome parts for your grille?

i also have a 2017 z71 Silverado and I want to the same as you, it sounds like you have to buy the whole grille and take the parts you want off of it is this correct?

I have a 2017 Silverado 1500 LT Z71. On the factory grill, there are three gloss black "grill bars" that appear to be separate pieces from the flat black grill inserts. On the 2017 LTZ Z71, these three bars are chrome plated. I think that is a nice way to add just enough chrome to the grill to really make it pop, so to speak. Since I have not had the gril off of the truck, I am not sure how the gloss black grill bars are fastened on. Is there a way to remove them and replace them with the chrome versions? And if so, how would I obtain the chrome replacements without buying a complete LTZ Z71 grill from GM?

Just for reference, here is a picture of my grill:

And here is a picture of a LTZ Z71 grill. This is the look I am trying to achieve:

I would really appreciate any input. Thanks

I fully agree with you, the later model looks much better, but i am old school and love chrome

I was actually fortunate enough to find a member here who had chrome and wanted paint.  We traded bumpers, grills, and headlight surrounds.  I couldn't be happier.

Cool 

after looking online for a few days it looks like you have to buy the whole grille and take the parts you want off and throw out the rest 

grille is to expensive

I'm in central California but if you're still up for trading please let me know and we can work something out. I have black inserts and want chrome.

I too have the chrome and am in search of black grill. Anyone in KCMO?

What you need is PN 84056784. It's the LTZ Z71 paintable grill. The grills are modular, so any grill can go with any color. If you already have a painted LT grill you can just unbolt the painted parts and bolt it onto the painted one. 

 

And.. if you do this..  I will gladly buy the primered parts you don't use

You in KC? I hv a 16 LTZ Z71 grille with the 3 chrome bars, I am in search of the exact grille with the 3 black bars.

Are you still looking to trade the chrome insert grille for the black insert grille?

I have a white Z71 grille with the 3 black inserts. Is your grille black or are you talking about the black inserts?

I am talking the 3 bars on the grille. I want them to be black, mine are the chrome.  Not the part where the bowtie is the smaller bars, where the Z71 badge is

[MountainBound118]

The bars that you're talking about are the actual grill "core."

See this to get some idea of what I'm talking about. The 2016-2018 grills are modular. The outer trim clips to the inner and is held in with screws to that inner core. 

 

So if you had someone that wanted to swap to a black z71 grill, they would only need to send you that part, and you send them yours.  It'd be a viable option I think for someone going the "Blackout" look.

Anyone out there still with the all chrome grille with chrome bars (inserts) that they want to get rid of?  GM part # 84056776

Not the grill with black bars or mesh between chrome top, bottom and middle borders.

 

I am interested to buy, or trade for 2018 ('16, '17, '18 all fit) LTZ all chrome grill.  The inner bars on mine are chrome, but with a different design (see pic).  I would be willing to disassemble and trade inserts, too.  I really just need the inserts, as on photo of the orange Z71 above, but will discuss anything.
