Lol yeah I've done that to a few silverados but with the fender trim on the sierras I couldn't quite figure out how to trim it and make it look good enough to where I wouldn't hate myself for doing it [emoji23]

It's not pretty I can tell you that. I looked at the NorCal for reference but my Sierra is different. There's about two layers of sheet metal in the wheel liner that caused issues for me.

I installed this thingy on the top of my 2017 6.2L. Not really sure what it does, but my truck goes really fast now.

Found an hour of free time yesterday and installed GM - Illuminated Door Sills. Love the way they look! Of course, made a how to video. The box didn't come with instructions and tried searching he

They are a solidly built mirror and up until yesterday, I like them even more when compared with a GM mirror.

 

I've heard reports of upper glass vibration at highway speeds but the GM mirror did that as well.

 

What do you mean by "until yesterday"?

What I meant by that is that up until yesterday, I've only tested the after market mirrors with just 3 studs instead of all 4 installed. I wanted to perform a true side by side test/comparison and install one of each with the 4th stud installed to replicate an actual retrofit.

 

Even with the 4th stud installed, I noticed slight vibrations in both mirrors, on the upper glass... aftermarket and Factory.

 

So for anyone inquiring about the quality of 1A Auto/AM Auto aftermarket mirrors, they are just as good as the factory mirror... in my opinion.

 

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the added detail. Regarding 3 v 4 studs, do you think it's necessary to install the 4th stud? I recall someone saying the 4th stud may be removable, but I don't know for sure.

On the 1A Auto mirror, they come uninstalled and you screw them in... let me check the factory mirror and see if they can be unscrewed.

Last night I got my new fogs, and HIDs installed, then realized I couldn't get the airbox back in where I mounted the ballast. So I remounted all my wiring, moved the ballasts and relays, put in an AFE intake and buttoned everything back up, minus the two MAF sensor screws that are now down in my belly pan somewhere. I love it when a 3 hour job takes 6 hours. Intake sounds awesome. Headers and tune next.

So a few weeks back I used vinyl to change my bow ties and it was okay, but I could tell I wasn't going to be happy with it long term so I busted out the Plasti Dip and dipped them two tone with glossifier over the top. Much happier with the results.

What color is your truck and what color did you use?

Chevy calls it Siren Red tint coat. I used the Plasti Dip brand and the color out of their luxury metal line that they call volcano red metalic. You can adjust how light or dark you want to final color by applying regular black plasti dip under the red.

I have a Siren Red also that's why I was asking because that Plasti dip looks good. How good of a match is it to the truck?

I felt stupid after I saw your forum name.... It is a good match, but you do need to put a coat of black over the gold as a first step. I think I could have hit the match perfect if I had put one more very light coat of black under the last coat of red.

I sent you a PM.

      Gas Prices

      By Atlas · Posted

      I understand that. The price is what it is, though. The price is what oil costs today, where our choices have led us, where supply is, and where demand is, in the market that is. Speculation is for futures, what we think the price will be, but with incomplete information at the time the price is forecast. I know you know this, but you appear to be intent on making a secondary point here about what you think the market could or should be, if only other choices.   In 1975 it became illegal to export US Crude. I'm conflicted on what the best answer is. Free markets allow export in pursuit of profit. But there is also a lot to gain by producing and consuming our own oil here. How do you reconcile it?

      That sir is a choice. And even if it were not for all the reasons stated, this disruption has zero to do with the reality of the actual logistics and everything to do with the greed of SPECULATION. Spot price is irrelevant to reality.

      What I think you're saying is there is supply here at home, and in Venezuela, and we could ease pricing if only it were favorable to do so.   Well, yes?   But that's not the current market. Supply isn't what could someday exist, if only, it's what producers are willing to produce and sell at a certain price point.   The national price of single family homes would come way down if we'd just slap together a few million homes this summer.   RAM and GPUs would get a lot cheaper if we just set up some factories to produce a bunch more and stopped using it to build out AI data centers.

      The turn signal/multifunction switch is faulty.  I've seen a few of these go bad at work.
