2017 Silverado 1500 Z71 Midnight Edition Build

[Rob1431]

In May I got a 2017 Silverado 1500 Z71 and I have already started my build with a few minor changes. I am going to start a page that will follow my build. This is my first truck so I would appreciate it if I could get some feedback and suggestions.

 

 

 

 

What I've done:

-- 20% tint on the side and back windows

-- Debadged the tailgate

 

Coming soon (open to all suggestions):

-- Exhaust - I want a deep sound but minimal drone

-- Lift - around 3-5 inches but I don't want it to ride like crap

-- Rims and tires

-- Side steps

-- Windshield tint

-- Replace the Z71 badges with black and red/black and blue (don't want any chrome)

-- Replace bowtie outlines to match the Z71 badges

-- Offroad bumpers

-- Truxedo Lo Pro tonneau

I'm going to buy the 1.75" Bora spacers for the rear to even mine out. Everything I've read has been positive as long as there installed properly.
