Awesome looking truck. I have a 2015 Chevy 2500HD and I was looking into a 6" lift but I don't think I want to lift it, but yours is the perfect height and now I'm going to look into going that route. As far as wheels and tires....what offset, backspacing are you running? Did you need to do any trimming inside the wheelwell? And what tires are they. Sorry for all the questions but I have been looking for a while and I'm getting antsy. Thanks man

Truck looks great!! About the color match... Did u paint right over all the chrome accents? Or r they new pieces? Nice wheel selection too! I noticed that u took off the running boards too, do you like it better that way as far as getting in and out of the truck? Thanks for all the pics!

forgiven06,

 

I removed the chrome from the ABS plastic before I painted, chrome should never be painted over. It's actually very easy to remove...

The side steps just kinda bothered me, not the look I was going for plus fat chicks can't jump...

Your truck looks awesome! I would love to color match all of mine. Did you strip all of the chrome off of the grille before the color match?

 

Thanks bud! Grill center is black Plastidip and the grill surround chrome was stripped and painted to match along with the lower bumper plate. Rest of the chrome pieces where ordered paint-to-match from the dealership (this was done before I figured out how to strip the chrome).

Loving the look and wanted to share pics

I have been looking at some color match spray cans on a web site but not sure to trust the color will match, where did you get ur color match from and did u you use spray can?gloss? And prep on the surface? Sanding?

Sorry for all the questions at once but it looks like u know what ur doing! Thanks!!

I read through your thread on duramaxforum earlier tonight and enjoyed seeing the progress!

 

Sharp truck!

I took the parts to an auto body shop I use to have them painted and then wrapped in clear bra.
