I wanna play!! Here's mine. Just color matched my headlights the other day. Plasti-dipped the roof and b-pillars for contrast, I like the b pillars but am not sold on the roof yet. Here's a list of everything I have done to it

2014 silverado z71 LTZ

2.5" leveling kit

Black 20s

Color matched mud flaps

20% tint, 50% on the windshield

WeatherTech mats

Underseat storage

Debadged

Clear bra

Here's when I picked it up from the dealership.... Looks a lot different now IMO!

 

Looks great! Really liking the black side pillars. Looks much cleaner. And I agree with you on not being totally sold on the roof. I would suggest trying another piece on the hood. Such as the two elevated parts only or paint the depression in the middle of the hood to match the roof. I think that may make it look better if you plan to keep the roof painted. Good luck with your build!

I'd love to get a review on those tires as far a gas mileage and noise since I'm considering the same ones.

That's such a a clean looking truck. How much lift is on that with the 33s!?

Thanks! The RC level lifted the front 2.5" and the rear 1". With the tires, the truck sits about 3" higher than factory.

You guys might think I'm crazy but I plasti dipped the chrome on the front today. I felt crazy spraying a brand new 40k+ truck but I think it turned out good. Going to do the back bumper later and then I have to find the right paint for the Chevy logo and calipers but it will be different thats for sure.

 

What do you think so far though?

I'm thinking about doing the same thing. I hate my chrome bumpers. My front bumper is rusting real bad so i'm going to see if the dealer will replace with a color matched one.

For a 40K truck with some $4 plastidip (exaggeration of course), that looks damn good as it is. I wouldn't color the bow tie in the grille. Id leave that. It stands out now and looks great IMO.

Well thank you!! I actually want to do the bow tie in black with Sea Foam green around the edge. I'm just trying to find a high temperature paint for the calipers that I like. I still can't believe how much it changes the look of the truck.

No problem. Looks damn good and deserves to be said! If I had a K2 Chevy id probably copy you and paint the grille like yours haha. And nice choice for the bow tie. Can't wait to see how it turns out. And good luck with the caliper paint

    • Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.
    • Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍
    • Bringing this thread back on topic. I just noticed the incredible lack of bright chrome across the entire new lineup. Even the Denali has tinted the brightwork in the grille and has none elsewhere. None of them have chrome bumpers. As far as I can tell there aren't even chrome mirror caps. I'm curious if this also happens out back? Are there no chrome rear bumpers either? This is quite the departure for GMC.
