"Re"badged 2016 Silverado Regular Cab


Recommended Posts

Yeah I am one of those who actually likes some badging on the truck but I didn't really care for how Chevrolet did it so I made a few changes.

 

First I color matched the grill and wheel Bowties..

On the tailgate I started by removing the Bowtie and adding the LS emblem but it still looked out of balance to me so I removed the LS and centered the Silverado (I also color matched the tailgate handle).

I thought the Silverado emblem was a bit too much for the doors so I first replaced them with LS emblems but that looked a little too bare for me so I found some 1500 emblems. I'm still not sure I like that so I may try something else.

I really like the hood on this truck however I felt it needed a little something. I recently came across some pictures of my old 79 Corvette and the L82 emblem on the hood inspired me to do this..

Not everyone's cup of tea I am sure but it's interesting how many people notice something is different from other Silverados but don't necessarily realize exactly what it is!

I've always wondered how the Silverado emblem would look centered on the tailgate. Thanks for visualizing it! Good job, everything looks very professional!

I bought the individual letters on eBay from the auction below and painted them myself with the color match kit from Scratch Wizard!

The tailgate looks very cool and I personally like the LS better than the 1500. Just my opinion though. Very nice touch!!

 

Thanks and I'm not sure I like either one so I'm trying to come up with something else!

I have an LT trim truck but what exactly is the LS? Only for regular cab?

LS for "Luxury Sport" and it falls between Work Truck and LT but I think it is available on all cab sizes.

Very neat - looks better than the yellow - and I would never of thought to center the Silverado on the gate.

 

You pay three grand for the 6.2L engine and GM doesn't give you emblem or decal bragging rights. Same for Max Trailering - no badging. I put these on my rig - very nice decals:

A LS is a better optioned truck than the WT but not as good as a LT. On regular cabs we only get three trims WT, LS, LT. There's certain options you can get in the higher trims that the lower trims won't have.

I like the L83 badges. I think they would look really cool as a decal where its almost ghosted in.

 

Crap! Just when I thought I almost had it dialed in you have me thinking about going to the air brush master in town to see if he can do something like that! :crazy:

My buddy just came by and said the 1500 looks like it should be on a Dodge truck so it's going for sure!
