2012 Silverado to get new Look


Recommended Posts

Posted

Bought my Silverado in Early April. Ordered Wheel hub decals and Recon Cab roof lights (Amber) and found a reputable place to do the install of the lights. Am also adding a Rancho leveling kit. Have the Westin Oval step bars installed and am getting ready to put my Tow mirrors. I found a place that has the Front and Back Bowtie Overlay decals too, Has anybody here put those overlay decals on front, back or both Bowties, and if so, Did it look O.K. when you were done? Thanks for any input. Pat

i used vinyls on my old camaro bowties, they looked good. the front one got chewed up a bit from bugs/rocks after a year so buy an extra.

I used to work at a sign manufacturer, you know like banners and vinyl signs. Well I just went there and got black sign vinyl and laid it over the gold and cut around with an exacto. Never had to replace for almost 2 years now

I have a american flag bowtie on my silverado. It has been on since Nov 2009 and it is holding up well.

 

Added a carbon fiber overlay to my Camaro also

 

Here are photos.

I just did that to my Cruze bowties. Have a big roll of carbon fiber vinyl so I figured why not. Looks much better than yellow and very easy to diy.

Thanks for the responses, always like hearing how others put stuff on their vehicles. I will post some pics when I am done. Pat

    • I’m doing an experiment on a vehicle I don’t have much money in. I’m going by the premise that after they last 100K miles they were no mechanical problems with assembly. Or defects with the parts. With oil changes by the minder for the first 127K miles when I acquired it. I quickly went through low mileage oil changes then settled on 5k oil changes with close to 170K miles on the vehicle currently. I did have the option to turn off the cylinder deactivation. I didn’t on this vehicle because in ECONOMY mode at least half the time. It should be a no brainer frequent oil changes are the key. The manufacturer gets away with the long oil changes with its severe service  maintenance. Just ask them what is normal. 
    • Even set to "recirculated", the air pushes out and is hot. I have noticed that sometime it doesn't want to switch between recirculated/vented air. Say it is set to Circulated Air and I want to switch to Vented, when I click the Vented button, it just quickly lights up/clicks and immediatly switches back to Circulated. It's done this a few times now. So maybe it is an actuator getting stuck? But then, that doesn't explain the hot air when everything is off does it?
    • I wonder what the price is out at the coast, Big Sur or other out of the way locations as I bet they are charging quite a premium over the in land pumps. 
    • Were you looking at the HD trucks on the GM website or the half tons as that makes all the difference. As far as I know there are only two options for the HD trucks and that is the standard 2 speed transfer case or the 2 speed transfer case that has the added 4 high auto feature and they put that transfer case by default into the LTZ and High Country although its optional in the LT and not sure if its available in the work trucks.    The half tons, that is where its been a total mess in my estimation for a few years now with most trucks below the top trim having the single speed transfer case as standard but with the option of having the two speed such as one would get by choosing the Z71 package, however then not being able to get the two speed transfer case with the towing package unless it was a higher trim truck AND had the 6.2 gas so one could combine the towing package gearing diffs with the two speed transfer case. Having said that if its a trail boss package then it gets the two speed transfer case but not necessarily able to get the tow package as it would depend on trim level and engine chosen. Believe me, people have bought the GM half tons assuming "of course it will have a two speed transfer case" only to find out after when they really pay attention to what they now own .... crap, there is NO low range !.    I don't believe Ford or Ram have gone that way yet with their half tons but like I say its been a few years now that GM has done this with the half tons.
