The Official Silverado SS bumper information thread!!

[Colby 04]

Install questions? Here's some answers!

Take some time to toss the bumper cover on and get familiar with the mounting points and mock up the brackets.



Here are some part numbers for the Silverado SS body pieces, however, I have not verified all of them.

The list price for the front cover, 2 airducts and the 4 brackets is over $800, but the dealer should provide a discount off of that, or check GMpartsdirect.com. The paint was around $200, this will vary by location.

Here are a couple of pics of the side brackets which come in two pieces(15124949). The thin red line indicates the outline and location of the bracket. These are universal for either side.




There is a strip of double sided tape on the top for securing it to the factory bumper. There are also brackets built into the front cover which mount to the fog light location on the factory bumper. The lower grille opening has fasteners built into the cover that attach where the factory valance mounted to the metal bumper. I do not have pics of the lower support brackets(15182636 and 15182637), but here's a quick MS paint drawing. The black indicates the bracket which bolts from the lower bumper(2 bolts) to the top of the airduct(1 bolt, existing). The white lines show the bolt locations. I used 'elevator bolts' from Lowes to secure the exposed mounting points on the brackets.




Yes, you can mount your OEM fog lights behind the air ducts. It will require that you fabricate up a new bracket, which can be easily done with materials from the hardware store. I used flat stock and just extended the existing bracket back. Here's a couple of pics of the fogs shining through.






For you GMC guys, Street Scenes makes an aftermarket SS cover.




If anybody would like to add anything, please do.

If its not already there should be an exact thread like this in the tech article section

Great write-up Colby.

[Firestrike87]

I new sooner of later you were gonna do a SS bumper tech article. Looks like a bunch of good info.

[Colby 04]

I did it because I get PM'd frequently about it

[Colby 04]

added a couple of pics looking from the "inside" of the bumper

[Nick5811]

I don't imagine the front bumper cover would fit onto my GMC would it?

How about the rear bumper though? Has anyone done that mod, will it just bolt on and fit or will it require fabrication?

i would like to know this as well !!

[Colby 04]

The OEM front SS bumper cover will not fit the GMC bumper...

I think the rear bumper is the same though, GMC or Chevy.

However, Street Scenes does make an aftermarket SS front bumper cover to fit the GMC.

[Nick5811]

****!!! That is SICK as HELL!!!!!!!! OMG! I am TOTALLY all about getting one of those! Those fogs through the grille holes look SWEET too.

I was thinking of redoing my exhaust, I got a Gibson kit cheap so I was gonna run it out to an SS style roll pan and try to do the SS Bumper thing, but that bumper cover for the GMC looks WAY cool.

Thanks Colby!

The front and rear bumper covers from GM are not painted. The only thing that comes painted to my knowledge are the grilles, which I just noticed are not listed above.

The rear cover doesn't look right without the cladding.

Here's birchSSclone's truck, he's the only one I know of that has the rear cover. He's got the cladding also I think, but just not installed yet.

So to do just the front bumper cover and 2 air ducts it cost you roughly a grand? Seems kinda steep! Anybody see one with the air ducts painted black or any other color? Thought it might look good on non-black truck having them blacked

[drivewaycustoms]

I'm thinking of adding one to match the wife's truck.
