Review on ๐Ÿš˜ Stainless Steel Powder Coated Black Bumper Grille Insert for Chevy Silverado 2500 3500 HD M2M #400-10-1 (2015-2019) by William Byrd

Revainrating 3 out of 5

3 stars but I would probably buy it again.

Overall this is a solid, good looking product that is easy to install. I had a few small issues and see room for improvement, but it's as advertised and a huge improvement over the ridiculous "hole" Chevy left in the bumper. four screws attach the brackets to the truck and 4 screws attach the grille to the brackets) - Fits great (Chevy 2500 HD 2016) - Easy to install, say, use threadlocker on all fasteners (I used blue, medium strength) - "The grille bars are dead flat so don't match the factory top grill bars (there's a crease in the middle, which is good). If they were stamped with some flex then I think $99 would be fair. The front ones Mounting bolts are clearly visible which 'adds' them (but this makes installation much easier, if designed with hidden brackets then bumper removal may need to be installed so minor issues) - Nuts for front bolts on the threads were paint or powder coated When i installed the front screws they were VERY tight and started to leak f halfway to squeak (they did not have transverse threads). I looked at a hole I hadn't started yet and saw black there. I ran a 10-24 tap through each hole to clean them out and then the screws went in fine. Installation Tip: When inserting the brackets, make sure they remain perpendicular to the floor. Because the Chevy's holes aren't vertically aligned, the bracket will want to rotate after the first mounting screw enters the groove in the bracket. If it's not perfectly perpendicular, then it doesn't seem to fit. I struggled with this for a few minutes, but once I figured it out and held the brace in place as it went in, it fit well. I've seen other reviews indicating it was matte black and the one I received is gloss black.

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
