  1. wheels look sexy on the truck....polished came out beautifully!
  2. See, it was pre-ordained that the blue ones were the right ones to put on! good choice, and now the handles need to match!
  3. that looks pretty good - I'm sticking with liking the color matched best though!
  4. I love the blue mirror caps and blue handles best. Especially with the chrome LS, blue and the chrome go together nicely. Blue, black, chrome = too much going on. you know what you're going to want to do also: paint that shark fin antenna blue!!!! it never stops!!!! I'm with you, I went back and painted the OEM handle and put that back in on my tailgate, much better quality and much more solid...
  5. I can understand - can't wait to see pix with the black trimmings on the truck - I think it will be a nice contrast
  6. I bought the same one off of ebay in order to color match it; I painted it, installed it, and also have the pop-n-lock feature to automatically lock the tailgate (since mine is a 2015). I'm wondering if maybe it was too much stress, because after a couple of days the plastic post that the center white spindle lays on snapped off! Next thing you know, my handle doesn't work to open the tailgate, I'm breaking into my tonneau cover and then opening up the tailgate access panel to reinstall my old handle.....grrrr.... hopefully that issue is not one that you will experience....again, I'm not sure if its the same ebay seller either....
  7. Truck looks beautiful - love the color matched tow mirrors - this is like the setup I'd like to do - how noisy are the M/Ts? Trying to decide between those which have a great look and the little more conservative R/T
  8. yeah, that's what I figured! oh well, I'm getting good practice at taking off the door panels at least! thx! Bob
  9. I see by one of your pictures that you also did the leds for the auto recall adjustment buttons right above the driver's door handle...I can pop off the middle cover behind the door handle itself and take out the screw, but how does that sucker come off? I didn't want to force anything and it is in there tight....please tell me I don't have to take off the whole door panel (although I did it before to swap mirrors)....
  10. Truck looks badass - what wheels and tires?
  11. got it - makes sense - thx!
  12. good point - after scratching my head, I realized that I just need to cover the source...thx!
  13. Also, on the mirror adjustment, did you only do the middle led and leave the 2 indicators alone on the outsides?
  14. Hey Chris, I'm working on putting in the gel on the driver's door handle lights - what did you do for the window module lights? There's two leds (one for the windows and one for the locks) and both have kind of a "light pipe" from the center LED to all four switches....did you put gel over just the center led, or over the four end posts? I'm assuming the led but am wondering what would show up the best.... Bob
  15. I'm planning to install some flush mount led lights in the side pockets also - I like the idea of being able to see in there at night - have a few of these still laying around and they flush mount in - would probably work in the center console also...gotta figure out what to hook the power up to...
  16. looking forward to seeing the mods, want to see what those painted calipers looked like and if you feel powder coated would be better....
  17. I know what you mean after three of my own - looking at the picture of them, I think they're almost ready to assist you in modifications
  18. awesome write ups!
  19. your interior is what I want mine to look like when it grows up - the biggest problem I have is whether I go with all red or all blue lighting. I love the blue, especially when I see what you've done. However, I have red GMC stuff in other places on the interior like my lighted door sills and red seems to be a little easier on the eyes at night....I'm leaning towards going to all blue after seeing yours though, that's for damn sure...great job!
  20. can't wait to see the pix of this installed and lit up - been thinking about this mod but not sure how it looks in our trucks....good luck with the install! btw, did you install the face and reset the needles yourself or can you buy the whole gauge cluster with it already installed?
  21. that cluster looks excellent, this is definitely on the list to do
  22. bought them like that, but they are powdercoated - I think most other coverings like paint are eventually going to peel from the heat...
  23. keep working it! you are trailblazing for the rest of us!
  24. you gotta show a pix with the tips on - those look good, especially on a white truck....
