still dont get it or like it.

I just took off the the Silverado emblems. I figure they only have on full size truck and it's not needed on every side. Cleans it up some with out making it just plain. Also took off the cheap looking Z71 stickers on the bed sides. Just left the moldings on the sides. The front has Chevy emblem with Z71 while rear had the Chevy emblem with LTZ. Both emblems are now color matched also. I'm with you nothing is to to plain but it shouldn't be a Silverado billboard either.

Also, the fishing line and peel method works great then just use gas to get residue off. After, polish and wax those areas after.

I know some trim levels have them, but considering the price of these trucks be nice if things like the 4x4 and Z71 are actual chrome emblems. Kind of ridiculous to pay the extra 2 grand for a Z71 when in reality your paying two grand for two stickers, because really that's all your getting extra

The package is more than just the stickers and emblems.

Comes with Rancho shocks, tow hooks, transfer case skid plate, hill decent control, the G80 auto locking diff in the rear, "Z71" in the RPM gauge and on the door sill, and the brush aluminum looking trim pieces.

Im talking extra, I dont have Z71 this time around nor an LTZ and I still have most of that. Again the Z71 package much like Fords Fx package has turned into nothing. So yor paying 2 grand for emblems a skid plate and maybe some better shocks, which I debate because from what I have seen the rancho shocks make for a rougher ride, and you cant have them to get max towing anyways. Most Z71s I see arent going off road. waste of money if you ask me, another marketing scheme to get foolish buyers to spend money on.

The 3M adhesive eraser wheel made life so easy. I started the Silverado on the sides without and it was very tedious and no matter how careful you put fine scratches in the black paint so buffing is part of the process. Did the tailgate with the wheel no time at all and much safer. This is my go to product for this job.

Looks a lot cleaner. Easy and cheap mod. My 4x4 decals along with dealer sticker were off within minutes of purchase. The rest came off the week later.

Its 1500 on an LT and on my LTZ going to Z71 was only 590.

good point thanks for clarifying. But it proves my point of what you are actually getting or not getting.

... bit the bullet and took off everything but the All Terrain badge. the only badges left are the All Terrains on the doors and rear.

In brighter news (joking) when i removed the dealer insignia from the bottom left of my tail gate, underneath it is a 2 inch long & DEEP razor blade looking cut right into the paint. I find it hilarious they put their label right over it. You can't see it in the photo because i waxed it and the angle/lightning is crap but i need to def get some touch up paint for that puppy.

Also... i used fishing line to get the badges off and cleaned up with GOOF OFF. Funny part is i read online afterwards that GOOF OFF destroys paint... is this a myth? my paint is perfect, like literally came out smooth as a babies behind.

It is great for cleaning up paints at the paint Store but dries paint my different. As long as you cleaned and wax it it should no longer have an effect

Looks good, but that badge in the tailgate looks lost. It should go.

I do agree that the tailgate looks off balance with just the all terrain badge, but I suggest to take it off and put a new one under the tailgate handle where the GMC badge was. It's my OCD lol.
