Sup ME Folks!!!

 

New to the forum and am excited to find other Midnight Edition (ME) folks in here and online.

 

I just bought my 6.2L ME December 30th, 2017.

 

I had a few issues with the ME, but dealer resolved the issues so far. 

 

Now I am ready to begin my mods... I did add side rails and WeatherTec like floor mats.

 

Things I am considering or will do.

 

Undercover EliteTonneau Lid

Bedrug Carpet or Mat for bed & tailgate

Bed LED lights

Anzo USA LED Smoked Tail & Brake Lights

Accent Lighting (undercarriage and grill)

Afe Power High Performance Momentum Cold Air Intake

Flowmaster Thunder Cat Dual Exhaust (side exit)

Swing Cases (2)

Liner Gear Box (under back seat)

Bull Bar w/4 LED Light Cubes

Brake Caliper Covers (Red)

Clifford 5906x 2-way security system with remote

Window Tint

 

These are just a few items I am considering and am thinking about a few more.

 

Any experience or add ons you think are worth it or not worth it, please share.

 

I will take photos as I progress.

I have a few questions for you 18Midnight:

 

 

In regard to your 2018 Silverado Midnight Edition:

 

- K&N Blackhawk Cold Air Intake (Do you feel it has helped in performance? Do you feel it is worth the addition? Or is it just for looks?)

 

- Black lug nuts (Nice! Where did you buy these? Do these have a lock nut?)

 

- Bug deflector (Nice... Does it work in deflecting bugs? Or is it more for show?)

 

- Blacked out key holes (Are these printed/covers or are these complete replacements?)

 

- Z71 license plate holder with smoked cover (Nice! Ordered from where?)

 

I appreciate your response in advance.

Big Henry,

- K&N Blackhawk seems to help slightly with performance.  My truck came with the GM 3 inch Cat Back from the factory so I wanted to be sure the intake could keep up with the exhaust.   Makes it sound a lot better too especially between 2 and 4k rpms.  But I did get the blackhawk version to match the rest of the truck plus its dry vs oil so easier to clean.  The official dyno says it gives you around 8 extra hp.  Got it from Amazon since it was cheaper than even K&N direct.

 

- Black lugnuts came from GM dealership and do have a lock.  They were 240 which seems crazy, but I had 100 off from mychevyrewards from buying the truck, so I wanted to use it on something and I already had them install the running boards and bed cover before I took delivery. 

 

- Bug defector does seem to help some with keeping bugs off unless they are really big or come in from the side I guess.  I did notice a slight mpg drop with it though so I may not keep it long term.  I got that at a local Auto Zone.

 

- The driver key hole I had the place that did my tints coat since the handle comes off and they were already coating the chrome around the bow ties and the steering wheel badge for me, it's a plasti dip type coating.  The tailgate keyhole the couldn't get to as well so I went to lowes and bought a 7/8 plug cover and cut the bottom with a utility knife the sanded it to fit the curve and used some clear silicone gorilla glue to hold it in there, turned out pretty good considering. 

 

- Plate cover and smoked glass were from Amazon.   I had to cut down the lip on the smoked cover to fit flush and I also got a mounting kit with black screw covers to keep that all clean looking.

 

Hope that helps, let me know if you have any other questions.

I got a RC bed mat from Amazon and like it.  Keeps things from sliding around.  I also order bull hooks so I can tie things down easier.  Mine had the led bed lights OEM and they are nice for after dark loading and unloading.  I also ordered the husky liner rear storage and think it's nice for holding small stuff.
