Z71 Appearance Package

[Black4x4Z71]

does any one have this option on a 2011 silverado? I was wondering if the floor mats or door plates have the z71 logo. I want to add something with this logo to the interior of my truck. Any other ideas? Thanks

 

 

[/size]Our 2011' Silverado Black seats came with Red & Silver embroider Z71 4x4 headrests! They are very trick looking and catch your eyes when walking by the truck in a parking lot.

 

 

 

 

The headrest looks good. I have seen many of them on the Z71's and old ZR2's that were done like that. Unfortunately it's not a factory option. There are dealers that have things like this done and they jack up the price claiming it's a "special or limited" edition. I have my ZR2 headrests done, after seeing yours, I may have to get them done in my 2010....Looks really good.

 

 

You may have a point about my Z71 headrests coming in a special edition package. I pulled out my price sticker and noticed that it came with a $2775 "All Star Edition" option package that included many of the required options that must be ordered with the Z71 Package.

The headrests were a dealer add on, no special editions or anything else have that. All Star is just the 5.3 and some of the popular options bundled.

Can you get the Z71 appearance package without the Z71 package? You know, for posers.

 

 

 

Z71 has been a meaningless package for years anyhow. It never really meant much but at least the older trucks got better shocks and other bits. For a while now Z71s came with brandless shocks and I think the G80 was even an option for a while too. My '03 wasn't a Z71 but it had just about everything the Z71 did anyhow. On the new trucks the appearance pkg comes with the Z71 pkg.

 

And the seat headrests were a dealer add-on, not something GM offers from the factory. They do look sharp though!

 

yeah i had a friend that was trying to buy a used 2008 Z71 and i just reminded him to make sure it was 4WD, since the new body style also come in 2WD Z71 package as well. He seriously did not believe me and thought i was making it up. The truck he was looking at was a 2WD with leveling kit with mud tires so he assumed 4x4. That is one package I seriously don't understand, 2WD Z71? lol

Any idea where I could get the headrests?

When I was looking at new trucks (before deciding on a used one), I went on a lot and saw a new Z71 for under 30k. I thought, "What a deal!" Turns out it was the 2WD version. I thought that was an oximoron if I had ever hears of one.

so from what i just read, those headrests are not a gm part and were added by the dealer? if they are a gm part, i would love to know where to purchase some. if not, i would still like to purchase some. if you cannot purchase some, we have a really good interior man where i live. may need to let him keep my headrests for a few days. i would also be interested in a set of sill plates that say "silverado" in the strip... although i am sure they do not exist.

Headrests aren't factory. My door plates just say Chevrolet but maybe some aftermarket company has Silvy ones. But I like these as they're not chrome/highly polished. That would just get wrecked fast.

I have those head rests and they are factory.

like previously stated they are not from the factory

[ChevyTech77]

Headrests are NOT factory GM pieces, guaranteed.

Woo Boy did I open a can of worms. I bought this truck new in February and have always considered these fancy headrests as just being part of the Z71 option package. Apparently that's not the case, at least it's not a part of the standard GM Z71 package. I will have to have a talk with my service manager the next time I drop my truck off for an oil change to see what he knows about the origin of my headrests.

NO THEY ARE NOT.........dealers add stuff like this al lthe time and they DO charge you more for it.

They are not part of any Z71 package, they were added by a dealer. There are dealers in my area that do things like this all the time. They have people come in and do embroidery, over-lays on the interior trim, accessories, lift kits, and they charge you extra for the little things like the embroidery. Don't be suprised if the service manager says they are factory, chances are he may truly not know.

 

 

They so stand out and look good, IMO you were lucky to have that done for you, makes your truck different from most others.

as said above. Here are a few photos. The floor mats are the same as other trucks.

 

The sill is covered up by my weathertechs but you can get the idea. Also threw one in of the gauge cluster

 

those weathertechs look like the real deal, those would be a good investment going into the winter. where is a good place to find them?
