Mmmmm... yes.

Kill it with fire.

Seriously, though. WHY did they do this?

I kinda dig them both. Maybe it’s because this is back when trucks were still somewhat honest.

More sharp angles = more better

I have a neighbor kid (high school) with one of these and I complimented him on getting the newer front end on the old truck. That’s when I learned it was a factory thing.

I mean, it looks awful, but I respect good modding. If only that’s what it was...

Designs that are the exact same as the existing design, if the existing design had a wooden carpenter’s clamp cranked onto the sides of its face. Just Say No.

I love the pre face lift HD hood and grille.

God I fucking hate cat-eyes. Almost as much as the term “cat-eye”. The pre-facelift is peak Silverado. Like a GMT400 but slightly updated and far more livable and modern. Hell yes.

I like the angry front end.

They aren’t bad in most cases but that body molding is all sorts of confused.

I did like the refreshed taillights though.

I actually love both looks, but that hump hood gets me all smiley and happy...

I’ve always preferred the angry face and better tail lights and steering wheel that came with it...

I saw the refresh front end swapped onto a Tahoe the other day and loved it.

The interior of the ‘03+ trucks is a massive improvement.

The best part of the Suburban and Tahoe is that they were never subjected to this cruelty from the factory.

I want the HD front end for my Suburban in a bad way.

Like a GMT400, but not absolute donkey shit in every possible way.

GMC is the only acceptable post-facelift gmt800

Suburban and Tahoe are also acceptable.

If they come in painted form they’re a bit more tolerable

AAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!! WHY DID I CLICK ON THIS POST!!!!!???!?!?!?!?!?!?!

GET MY EYEBLEACH!

Yeah, that was the single worst mid-cycle “refresh” ever. They went from one of the best looking Chevy trucks ever, to hands-down the worst.

This is why I bought a new ‘06 Sierra, without ever setting foot in a Chevy dealership. The Silverado was simple not an option.

The chrome bar on the grill is thicker. Or as the youth say, T H I C C.

I believe the bumper is needed for the swap too...

To make it look more angry... because anger sells.
