Love the picture! Just curious, is that a painted bug deflector/ Aeroskin or just the shadow? How did you paint it or where did you get it? I am about to plasti-dip the factory GM one to be as close to silver ice as I can.

Aeroskin. It looks great and easy to put on. Thank you.

Just pulled the trigger on the Magnuson’s MP1900 TVS Supercharger Kit and American Racing headers. Now the suspense of waiting for everything to ship...

I joined the silvermetallic club a few weeks ago. Recently installed a 1.5" ReadyLift leveling kit, Undercover Flex tri-fold bed cover and billet grille. I love this color!

where did you get that grill?

eBay E-autogrille 7-pc. It was either $129 for billet or $700 for Denali. I decided to save the cash with billet and level instead. Edited by Coastal44

The billet grille quality is very good. I had to remove the factory grille to install, which is managabke, but I wouldn't want to do it again.

I have removed mine to install the led bar. I like the looks of your grill but I don't know how it will affect my light bar. Thanks

I hope this uploads correctly. I plasti-dipped my bow ties and used the bright aluminum metalizer. You have to spray it over a plasti-dip base and I did that over a white basecoat. I think it matches pretty well. I am a terrible painter but this stuff makes it easy!

Thanks for this. I've been looking for a decent match for this color. Will give this a shot on my headlight bezels/trim.

    • What’s missing in all this is patience and investment in the future. Buy a 170K starter home. Ten years later sell it invest in a more expensive home. Eventually you’ll have a 600K home and pay starter home payments. Buy a starter car. Maintain it well. Save the payments after it’s payed for then buy an expensive car if you desire. Buy a tumbler make your own coffee, pack your lunch. Cook your own dinner. Most importantly take care of your car.
    • People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.    
    • Glad you had success with it. I did as well, but about 5-6 months later it returned. Tried again, same result. This was after the dealer made several attempts and never even got it to slow down.

    • I have a LTZ and it has the shifter in the console, which I like, but, every now and then, it will not stay in Reverse. I go through all the motions, hold the button in, push the shifter forward and watch the dash.  The big red R comes on and also the back up camera.  Then, it just pops out of Reverse with the shifter all the way forward.  So then the game begins.  Back and to Drive, Reverse.  This goes on 8 - 10 times. Very frustrating. Had it back to the dealer and they replaced some kind of computer, but it is now happing again. It is so bad, my wife will not drive the truck, she is afraid of being stuck somewhere.    Anyone else with this PIA problem?
