SouthPawCO's 2015 Silverado LTZ DC Build

[SouthPawCO]

Truck looks fantastic with the new wheels and tires! good choices!

 

Just checked your build thread.. and I should really stay out of those. Got a few more ideas .

[SouthPawCO]

When I figure out how to update my OP, I will add this to there. I wanted to put a list together of all the future mods I want as of right now:

• Tonneau Cover
• Bed Liner
• HID or FXR Projector Combo
• BumperShellz
• Drivers Assist Handle
• 30" Light bar behind grille
• Actually black grille, headlight surrounds, not plasi dipped
• N-Fab Bars
• AirRaid MIT
• AFM Disable
• Possibly a BB tune

I am sure more will keep adding to this but right now this is what I have my eyes set on.

Looks fantastic

Got my HID's and light bar coming for Thursday. I ended purchasing everything from Amazon for a couple of reasons.

 

1.) Free two day shipping vs DDM 2-3 week shipping. Both are probably made in Cheena anyways.

2.) Amazon had some rebates on the light bar and HID kits ($17.50 off the total) and I had reward points to burn.

3.) Excellent reviews on both the light bar and HID kits

4.) Mix and matched 55W for the low beams and high beams and 35W for the fogs (fingers crossed they don't cause heat problems).

5.) Warranty/Return policy.

 

I ordered Kensun kits in 8K-55W for the high and low beams, 8K-35W for the fog lights, (2) Error Cancelers, (2) relay kits and (1) 5202 to 9006 adapter (for foglights),. Lightbar is made by Aux Beam and is 30" flood/spot combo. Total for everything was $324.23. Should be here on Thursday and I will be putting everything in on Saturday after work.

You and me both... Pop N lock tailgate system just got added to the list. I will definitely be posting pictures.

Those tailgate systems seem pretty sweet. I've been thinking about that for a while.

Nice man I have a 15 Gmc looking for a better sound where did you find that muffler and about how much was it

You can find it anywhere online for about $100. Total out the door was $500 with tips, labor, and muffler.

[SouthPawCO]

Well got home today to find a nice surprise on my door step.






So I plugged them in for a quick test fit to see how they would look. So far so good! Full install is on Saturday!

 

Been also looking at adding Bilsteins to smooth out the ride.

Really like your build and taste so far!!!

[SouthPawCO]

Well I tackled it today... What a BEAR it was is. Part of it came because I'm so OCD and wanted to look completely factory. I didn't want any wires hanging, misplaced, good grounds, etc. Well this took the whole day but it came out beautiful. I still have to mount the switch inside for the light bar but I have some ideas I've seen others do. Anyways here are the pictures

Just a quick shot of how it lights up the road (low beams and fogs). I've had HID's before in my previous vehicles but these are insanely bright. I think some of it comes from the poor performance from the factory ones and now that I have ones that actually work; it is a huge difference.

I ended up not using the any of the relay harness'. I don't see the purpose in running the harness and the capacitors because the capacitors are designed to stop flickering and correct the 9v DRL's. Plus the harness' I ordered wouldn't have been very difficult to make work the way it was wired.

[cbrsilv15]

You might have some regret not doing that harness while it was all apart. The capacitor is a crucial link to the HID installs on these K2xx trucks.
