  1. Was thinking of the same thing! Are these the ones from Ebay???? I'm not new to vynil and putting on decals. .....but how was this to do????
  2. Wonder what I would get with my 5.3? Ha ha.
  3. Those look good! Maybe they would tie in my red tow hooks better???
  4. Thank you very much!! I'm finding vynil wrap is pretty quality stuff, if it's put on and heated right.
  5. Mine was included in the sticker price. Part of the package.
  6. I actually got ripped off from my dealer im finding out.....mine was supposed to come with black lettering package too....a 250.00 option. Mine only came with the chevrolet fill in letters and silverado badge in black. Mine still had the chrome RST. I STILL had to buy my own RST badge! I'm finding out it was supposed to come with it!! And for the life of me, I can figure out why that extra option doesn't cover black Z71 logos!! It was way to much with my OCD not to order them and put them on!!!!
  7. Spray it gloss black and clear coat it. Looks better with than without.
  8. Exactly why I went all black. I couldn't stand some black and some chrome!
  9. Black looks sooooo much better. The silver metallic is mine
  10. You would think you could close them. But its all automatic. It is surprisingly very easy to remove the air dam. Remove two outer bolts that go downward....and 10 bolts that go upward. All 7mm. I had mine off in 5 minutes. There are YouTube videos on it. The couple I watch showed removal of the "clips". I chose to remove mine, kinda a pain, but you can leave them on.
  11. How responsive is it? Does it take time for the electronics to engage?? Or is there a pause?
  12. I already hate it!!!
  13. Another great reason to hang onto my 2020 at the end of my lease!!!
  14. Here she is with the air dam / valance delete. I like this look SOOO much better. Much cleaner line and more aggressive looking. Last thing to do is get those wheels done!!!
  15. You're absolutely right. I guess I was just thinking of doing something for the books to share here. Personally, I really could care less if I lose a GPM or not. As said above, I bought a truck...if I worried about mileage I woulda bought a Prius!!! And the whole cooling think is bunk.
  16. So here's something.....my driving is about the same every week. How can I keep proper track of my mileage? I wrote down all the stats. I just took it off. My trip meter 1 is at my current truck accumulated miles of 1,833. I jotted down the fuel mileage of 15.7 mpg. Then I tabbed over to the current fuel mileage stats screen ....my best was 21.7 and my average was 16.7 What would I do from here....keep track of my best and average....or keep track of my trip meter 1 at another 1,833 miles?? I've not done this before.
  17. So whats your result? I want to remove mine for looks but I did not know it helped out with cooling. All I've ever seen was about gas mileage. I am mostly city driving so a few tenths of a gallon loss isn't a big deal for me. Even a whole 1 gallon loss on highway isn't a concern really. Now I live in Michigan, so its not particularly warm. So I'm not really sure that affects me either. Conversely, here is an article about the 2021 Colorado, in which GM acknowledges people are removing them and they actually made it EASIER TO DO for those people. So is it really important if GM doesn't come out and say don't do it?? https://gmauthority.com/blog/2020/06/2021-chevrolet-colorado-air-dam-is-improved-easier-to-remove/ Thoughts??
  18. No issues. My butt is plenty warm. Do I understand you right....the setting IS on in preferences, and even the dealership confirms they aren't working and cannot figure it out??? Weird!
  19. I got my black bow tie and factory black grille installed today!! All blacked out now, just two things left: Air dam delete Hyper dip black the wheels I'd like to black out the door handles if I can figure a good way to do them.
  20. Here's the grille: Very easy to do, but you have to know how the the clips work on the top shield over the radiator. I pulled the first three out totally and broke them. I figured out you have to partially pull up the center plug, then work the bottom part out to remove the entire plug. Its like a plunger system.
  21. Got my black bow tie today! Looks great! A few scuffs, and a chip, but we'll see how the dealer works with me. I also got my black grille today!!! Took me about 25 to 30 min to swap them out. Very very easy. Here are some pics....before, black tie, and after. Thoughts????
  22. Has anyone had any luck in finding GOOD options for door handle overlays for the 2020? The set i got didn't fit my truck. They claimed they would fit 2016 to 2020, which they didn't....but they fit on our 2018 Silverado perfectly. So they advertised them wrong. I guess they fit over them, but coverage was wrong. Whats out there for options? All I am finding is chrome. I thought about trying a set and using the new "Hyper-dip" on them. Is anyone having luck with plasti dip (hyper dip) or vynil wrap? My local guy wants 45 per handle to wrap them!!! If I did that I want to know how they would hold up.
  23. .......IF I had the nice full center console. ? Thanks to Covid selection wasn't very great in that area.
