Question about grille fitment...

Well the AV without lower cladding share the same front end as a silverado, BUT why are you considering buying that. ???
 
I don't have the lower cladding on my Avalanche, so I assumed it would.  I just wanted to be sure. I am exploring my options on what I want to do since I hate chrome.  I am trying to eliminate the chrome strip that goes from headlight to headlight on the grille and have it match the body color.

I love you man (y)

Just sand the shiney chrome down and paint it your body color. I would not waste the money.
 
I took your advice...  Used Dupli-Color Color match spray paint, primer, as well as clear coat.  Came out extremely well, in my opinion! I even upgraded my bow tie.  I had a billet bow tie that I blacked out.  I went a step further this time and turned it into a "thin-red line" (for fallen firefighters) since I am a firefighter myself.
