nova939 Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 red_2.bmp Well to start off I have 2010 silverado, And like to do simple mods no one else really does. Well i've kicked the idea around of installng an escalade ext roof rack on the truck. So finally decided to go through with it. There's only one other truck I could find after searching for hours. So I'm assuming its not a common upgrade. With can be cool, but can also mean it just doesnt look good haha. Well anyways bought the roof rack last week, Painted the caps today and tomorrow plan on drilling the holes. Well I'm getting a bad case of cold feet the thought of doing an almost unreversible mod like this. So I've been staring at it for hours in The driveway and i'm driving myself crazy. I think it looks really good, but could use some reassurance. Any good opinions would be apprieciated. Thanks in advance and this is my first time posting so Hopefully I did everything correctly.

Chads09Sierra Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 i like it. ive thought about doing a mod like this so i can carry my kayaks, but ive decided to build a rack above my bed. is the rack just for looks, or are you going to use it? regardless i still think it looks good
nova939 Posted June 23, 2011 Author Posted June 23, 2011 Thanks, Purely for looks. Wish I could make the pics bigger for u guys.
Chads09Sierra Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 you should look into getting a chrome exhaust tip
montyss Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 Make sure the air bags in the roof are not in the way before you drill
nova939 Posted June 24, 2011 Author Posted June 24, 2011 Thanks, Definitly will do. Its not my first install, I've done a few avalanches at my shop. just never a silverado, but i'm assuming there pretty much the same.
Spurshot Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 I think I'd not buy a truck from someone that drilled the roof.
ArkansasHellRaiser Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 I like them. I'm not a chorme fan and wouldn't install them on my truck solely due to that but they match your setup great. I'm about to put dynasport roof rack rails on my truck with either a rola or yakima basket.
sw6416 Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 the thought of drilling anything into the body of my truck makes me wanna puke! I like the look just dont think I have the balls for it!
nickvrebel Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 I don't like it. I don't care for the looks and if it serves no purpose then I see no reason why. If someone were carrying kayaks or something and would otherwise need a trailer, go for it, but just like the splash guards on my truck, they are there for function, not looks.
J-man67 Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 If you like it and are comfortable with the install, go for it!

Rey The fact that you are so undecided will actually work for you. Once you do decide what to do, you will be happy with that decision. Sit back, and stare at it. You need to make this decision on what you think, and only you. And do not let what others say about how it will look sway your decision. They are not the ones living with it, you are. I never could understand why anyone would take the opinion of people they have never even met and let that influence their decision.
