Dobsongeorge 2015 Z71 Black Silverado Double Cab Build

[Dobsongeorge]

I purchased in mid-May and have quite a long list of mods to come.

 

Below are before and after photos of my current process as well as a list of what I have planned.

I will continue to post as I gather the funds to continue to make it my dream vehicle.

 

Enjoy and feel free to provide your oppinions.

The fog, reverse and cargo white emergency lights still function as normal with factory switches, which was a HUGE selling point.

They provide pure bright white LED output for my daily fog and reverse lights and tons of extra work light when my cargos are activated.

The flasher system is even smart enough to not allow any of the lights to flash when the factory/standard-use switch is active.

 

4) Mud Flap / Splash Guards (factory item)

 

 

 

5) LED Third Brake and Registration Lights

 

SuperBrightLED Third Brake Light and Registration Lights installed (just bulb replacement - no photos)

 

Future Plans

• Spyder U-Bar LED Projector Head Lamps
• VVME HID High and Low Beams
• Line-X black bedliner
• Slim Black Truck Box
• Black Tonneau Cover
• Black Front Chevy Badge
• Black Rims
• Tint

6) Window Tint

 

15% front and 15% rear over the stock 20% (making it 5%) - So far no complaints. Installer uses Llumar tint and clairity/quality is great. During the day my visibility is great all around. At night my rears a tad dark but I still have no issues on backing.

7) Plasti-Dipped OEM Wheels Black

 

Used 6 cans of black and 3 cans of gloss plasti-dip. Completely removed the wheels, washed and clay-bar'ed each for paint prep.

Decided to spray the center caps as well but left my lugs to blend well with the front end.
