    Anyone have this done? Any issues with excessive stone chips? I'm getting PRO grill with Bulge/surround in silver sky and I think the center would look sweet if painted too. Anyone have pics?

    I see what you're saying... it would like more like a Taco. It has never crossed my mind. I was actually considering blacking out the entire front bumper but now you have me curious...

    Are you talking about the lower, larger center piece or the upper thinner piece that wraps the center?

    I had it done before and I didn't keep it on for very long because I couldn't get used to the look (too much silver) and the color match was off just enough to bug me. If I did it over again I would have the center painted gloss black.

    I have a Silver Sky Valance if you're still interested. I'm in Buffalo NY, probably too much to ship.

    Very hard to find a color matched valance!! Hopefully the OP jumps all over your offer. Took me 2 years to find a member selling theirs.

    Bit of a thread necro, but I've got a 2017 1794 Silver Sky with the front valance painted the factory dark gray that's pretty chipped up. Despite all of my digging online, I couldn't find the matching paint color for it. I'm all the way down in TX, but any idea what it'd cost to get that big thing sent down here? Probably too much trouble, but throwing a hail mary here.
