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

haha thank you again, if anybody has a suggestion where I can find a seafoam green high temperature paint that would be awesome.

Looks like you left cut off line is crooked.. :D

My headlights alignment was off a little bit, I raised the right beam a little bit and now they are perfectly straight.

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?

Looks real clean!

The best mod for the money.. ;)

I couldn't agree more, these trucks should come equipped with HID from the factory, at least for the higher trims.

That looks so sick! I was nervous as to how the dip would stick to chrome - no problems huh?

 

Did you have parking sensors to deal with?

Thank you, and I honestly can't answer the sticking question, I guess time will tell on that one. I couldn't find the plasti dip glossifer so I just picked up a can of the auto gloss black paint and went over the plasti dip with that to get a gloss finish. I'll post what happens after a couple car washes haha

Thanks..

Thanks! Yes I used all the parts, the rake wasn't as prominent until after I did an alignment and added the tires. I need to check psi etc and find out what the deal is. Measured this morning and I'm at 39.5" in the front and 41" in the back GTF.

Added a black bug deflector last night. Sorry no pictures, but loving the look of it. Living down county roads caused a lot of windshield bug splatter, hopefully this will cut that down a little.

Dipped my mirrors white today... I'm digging it!

 

Looks great. I also noticed you did the inside trim around your fog lights. I have very little knowledge of the "plasti-dip" stuff. Could you provide a link to what you bought by chance? Did you take the parts off the truck, or just taped them off? Thanks again and keep up the awesome work!

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!

 

50% tint on the windshield. How does that look from the inside looking out? What about your inspection/registration sticker. It looks sweet, but just curious on visibility loss.

Got the windows tinted today. 32% on the front driver and passenger side windows, 32% over existing factory privacy glass in the rear passenger and rear window.

 

Also got an alignment since I put the leveling kit on Friday afternoon.

    • Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!
    • If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.
    • My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.    
    • I went another direction after losing a trailer tire, thanks to not being able to access air at ANY of the 5 gas stations and garages I stopped at prior, with a Toyota Tacoma onboard, 50 miles from the Canadian border. They were either out of order, access was blocked, or the hose a few feet too short and I couldn't get any closer without risking damage to someone's property.   https://postimg.cc/gallery/X5QJ55w
    • I took a 12 second video on my iphone but the file is too big to upload. I will have to figure out how to extract the audio or just do another start with an audio recording.
