i'm looking for a fender trim. i want something identicle to the stainless one that putco makes for the 2012 silverado but would like it in black because i have a silver truck and like the black trim pieces a little better

 

has anyone came across something like this. i know i have seen them on trucks driving down the road but cant seem to hunt them down online

I recently purchased a 2006 Silverado with the chrome around the wheels. Frist one i have seen with it. The guy i bought it from said it was factory. My build sheet has no mention of flares. I was thinking of putting flares on as it looks normal.

 

So was the chrome factory install on these trucks or someone pull off flares and put these? look at the pic i have on my posting. that is the truck with the chrome.

My 04 had them. It belonged to an elderly man before me. It was one owner who traded it on an 08. It didn't have the flares factory. They were screwed in on the inside of them. I pulled them off after I messed up one in an accident

I have these that I will make you a deal on if you're interested.  I ordered them for the same reason you are looking for them! But then I decided I want to go with full fender flares.   They fit the 2015-2017 Silverado.  

 

They look nice and will do what you're looking for.  I would use black hardware though that can be purchased for this purpose.

 

Let me know if you're interested.   https://www.realtruck.com/rbp-body-armor-fender-trim/R184236P2018Y734MA.html

OP was looking for the trim for a 2012 and you offer to sell him yours for a 2015-2017 and resurrect a 6 year old post

 

Wonder if the OP found what he was looking for in the six years since he made the original post???

:confused:

      Tire pressure for 37s

      Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I had an alternator fail that was shorted internally in such a direct fashion in addition to the larger gauge cables that it appeared like a VERY dead battery. Granted I think the car did power up, it definitely wouldn't start.   Rodent damage to wiring?

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      Using experience to justify bad advice is lazy and typical of someone incapable of articulating why their advice is prudent.    This immediately sets off the BS alert and the advice that followed certainly qualified.   Asking an idiot for help getting out of dumb situations because he is an expert... at getting himself into dumb situations.   Unless I've been living in an alternate universe - the first thing everyone does when getting into a sticky situation is shift to a higher gear 🤨.   Of course not, the torque multiplication, mechanical advantage and finer control typically afforded by the lower gear is far better suited for this scenario.   There ARE scenarios where a higher gear MIGHT be appropriate determined more by the drivers ability to control EXCESSIVE wheel spin versus applying torque to the ground.

      I'm not sure I agree with "extreme" low speed, high torque sentiment here with regards to the prescribed use of low range. How about...whenever it's needed?   A 2.72:1 transfer case and whatever differential gears these Silverados have (3.42's, maybe?) aren't producing "extremely" low crawl speeds. Or insanely high torque multiplication. Even with the 1st gear in these newer transmissions. But it does provide mechanical advantage and potentially better control at slower speeds. And with extra weight or towing, I think it adds mechanical sympathy for the truck as well.   Plus, traction control and the other assists generally turn off when you shift into low range. Those aren't needed here, they'll work against you if you need wheel spin. In high range you'll need to figure out how to turn off the various modes those assists provide. Depending on the vehicle, those things don't all automatically turn off or turn completely off.   While I agree that a farmer might have some great practical experience, a recommendation to "always" using one gear isn't very informed advice. If the farmer had said WHY and could explain the physics behind his prescriptive "always" I'd definitely listen. The way he's described here makes it sounds like he could either be uninformed or is telling everyone what worked for him, not necessarily that there could be a more advantageous way about things.
