Just had my color matched splash guards and wheel liners installed courtesy of mjdxtreme (yay!), and I love them. Also had my antenna painted to match too, and it looks awesome. I was kind of worried as to how well the splash guards would look, as they were bought already painted to match from gmpartsdirect, and I wasnt sure how close the reds would match, but they look just fine.

 

Here are a couple of pics. Let me know what you all think!

How did you put the REd bo tie in the grill? and was it hard to do?

 

 

I went to a place called Fast Signs. If you can find a place that makes custom signs, they may do it for you. It cost me like $35 and its held up well.

 

 

Looks good man, never seen the flaps paint matched, are they holding up well from rock chips?

 

Ive only had them on for three days, but mjdxtreme has had his painted at a local shop, and has had them on for a while and his are holding up fine. So I think mine will do the same.

 

 

I know! I need new wheels but Im not working right now so I have no cash flow at the moment. But rims are at the top of my wish list, among other things.

 

As for taking the badges on the tailgate off, somedays I want them gone, and somedays I dont. I havent made up my mind yet.

 

Thanks Everyone!

The red on the bow tie is just red vinyl overlay over the stock emblem. I did the same with white on my GMC.

Ha. I didn't feel like painting the bowties on wife's Tahoe, so I went to Fast Signs and they said they couldn't do it. Sounds more like they were too lazy. I have painted all of mine.

Thanks. That picture kind of just happened. Was out at the valley of fire and stopped somewhere to look at a petrified log (looks like a rock shaped like a log if you ask me) and when i was heading back to the truck, I just had to take a picture. It came out better than I thought it would.

People be lazy?? Never! I went to fast signs only because I knew mjdxtreme went there and had his done. When I first walked in and asked about having them do it, they sounded hesitant until I had mentioned that I knew someone had it done there before. Then they had no problem

So where did you get the overlay? and how does it go on? 3m backing and sticks on or what? Thanks in advance

I have painted all of mine, but you can find the overlays on the net for cheap. They go on similar to window tint. That way you can more easily place them.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      Whoever greenlighted the work truck matte black front bumpers on every trim but the AT4X should be fired!  I was hoping that was an AI mistake, but just realized they were on every model of the 2027 Silverado too.     Some parts of the interior do look premium, but the Denali Ultimate dashboard looks like an afterthought.  At least they appear to have lost the microfiber the high end Silverado models showed, but the '27 High Country dash looks better than the Denali.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      New member here. I am researching a read-first event-recorder concept for late-model GM V8 trucks. This is not a sales post. There is no product link, price, preorder, or mailing list. I am trying to determine whether the underlying problem is real before building anything.   Has your truck ever had a brief problem such as: - rough running or a momentary misfire - an oil-pressure warning or unusual pressure event - reduced power or a brief stall - a U-code or lost-communication problem - a symptom that disappeared before the dealer or independent shop could reproduce it   If so, I would appreciate the following details: - year, model, engine, and mileage - what happened and under what conditions - whether a DTC and useful freeze-frame data were stored - whether the shop was able to reproduce it - what the eventual confirmed repair was, if known - what additional information would have helped the diagnosis   The concept being evaluated is a removable leave-in recorder that continuously retains a rolling window from before and after an event. It would not tune, reflash, clear codes, or change the vehicle calibration.   I am also not claiming that it could predict lifter failure or see every internal ECM variable.   The real question is whether continuous event history would add enough useful evidence beyond freeze frame, GDS2, and existing scan tools — or whether it would simply be another unnecessary gadget.   For owners and technicians, which problem would make something like this genuinely useful: 1. intermittent misfire or AFM/DFM-related behavior 2. oil-pressure events 3. lost communication or electrical faults 4. none of the above Please be blunt. Negative feedback is just as useful as positive feedback.

      No tears over the SLE and SLT trim levels disappearing but I kind of loathe the "Elevation" name. It's a truck--skip the elegance.   The slab-dashboard design is decidedly different. Almost has a Hummer flavor to it. "Professional Grade" seems to be leaning very white-collar, tech-driven these days moreso than blue-collar, functional design.   The Silverado would be my choice between the two new trucks. Pleased with the engine lineup in both. The GMC is a little "too much" for a truck, IMO, and the Denali borders on ridiculous - but I do know there are buyers for luxury trucks out there. It's just not my speed.

      - I like the outside but not as much as the Chevrolet.  They ICE'd the EV styling and it works, but I think exterior goes to Chevy on this one.     - SLE and SLT dead = Not.  Surprising.  Fits into the rest of the GMC lineup like this which (aside from Pro) matches the rest of the family.  Elevation, AT4, Denali.     - Interior.  Sophisticated Malaise era.  Why do I say Malaise?  Drawn with a ruler.  Rectangles everywhere.  Looks very premium though.
