I thought I'd post something I had seen on another forum. We were talking about the cateye front end on the SUV that never came with it. This is a 99-02 Silverado/ 00-06 Tahoe/suburban front bumper (all 1500), on the cat eyes front end. The bumper has NOT been modified. The bumper bracket has NOT been modified. The only custom part to this was this owner using two different bumper caps and plastic welding them together. This mod on the cateye front end is nothing more than swapping over a bumper, and coming up with a bumper cap. There is still some more sanding and work to smooth that out (not my mod). Not sure if there is a bumper cap that might work better.
Didn't bother searching if its been done here or not, but thought someone might like this if not.
Here is the original thread (starting on page 5, where 03catburban jumped in, with another pic on page 6).

I've read that GM didn't use this because it wasn't "tough enough" looking without the bumper lip. IMO that looks pretty good. The looks with a bigger humped hood, those few extra inches in a 20ft garage are going to make me do this if I end up trying to fit one in there.
