Nice truck. My favorite grill style for the Silverado. It reminds me of the 1986 S-10 blazer I had. And it was also a blue very similar to yours too.

Rear bowtie is now gone.

Rear looks much nicer without the big BowTie. Was it relatively easy to remove?

Yup, super easy. Just put it in the sun for 30mins or so (or others use a hair dryer), and take some fishing line and work from top to bottom. Make sure you're not pulling towards you with the line as you go, or you'll angle the bowtie and it'll scratch the paint. Just pull straight down. You can also put some painters tape or something under the bottom side of the bowtie, to prevent any scratching.

 

The worst part (and it's really not all that bad, just takes a little time) is removing the left over sticky stuff off the tailgate. But with some patients and some goo gone, it's looks like new after a few mins.

Lights are done, just need to put them on.

- 6000K HiD converstion w/ matching LED fog lamp bulbs

- VIM (video-in-motion) reprogram

- limo tinted windows w/ windshield strip

- de-badged all around

We get about 360 days of sun here in Arizona. Even though it's not legal, the tint is necessary!

The HiD out is a pieced together kit. I did some slot of research with my last truck. Korean bulbs, German balast...lots of good kits out there. These are from gethidlights.com. They are actually local.

Right now I am trying to decide on which level kit I want. Are you pretty happy with the RC? I've only lowered before so this is new territory for me.

New wheels are on:

Are those the black chrome factory 22's? They look pretty good.

I'm working up the level lift and a set of 20's right now. Probably something I'll do in the next week or so.

 

I wish my truck had the painted handles and door bumper. I can't find this color pre-painted. I'm thinking about just pulling the chrome door bumper and leaving the handles chrome with black and silver wheels.

They are GMC 20" wheels, not 22".

 

I saw some ocean blue take off handles on ebay, keep an eye out there.

soon as rain give sIll take a updated side pic.. the rc level.. fixes the dip..easy to do.. I had prior on 2007 crew and had no issues... so I put one on the 15 gonna swap out wheels..just undecided to stay 18" or go up to 20's.
