Nixonride's 2016 SLT 1500

[NIXONRIDE]

So I have gone from I am not going to do anything to my truck this time to saying screw that I gotta make it what I want....lol. It all started with my wife wanting exhaust for her YD and I thought, she can't have exhaust and my truck sit stock...so after a Corsa for her and a Corsa for me, this is where I am at.

 

Brought it home from the dealer beginning of May

 

 

 

 

It's thing I did was tint the Windows and then install the Corsa. I then added an E&G black Denali style grille insert

And painted the emblems white.

 

 

 

Next up was adding some old rims I had laying around to see if they would fit...stick GM wheels with 305/55r20 Nitto terra grapplers.

 

 

 

Next we went with Ride rite air bags in the rear and Blistein 5100's all around. First couple pics are with the 5100's in rear along with ride rites but stock rancheros in front...then leveled out with 5100's at highest setting. Installed an undercover flex at the same time.

 

 

 

 

 

This week went a little further and had the front and rear bumpers wrapped as well as the grille. I also wrapped the stock shinny wood with a matte dark wood wrap...still deciding if I want to wrap the silver pieces on the dash...I also got my Denali gauge cluster back from White audio so I got that thrown in as well.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Things that are on the way are GMC lit door sills, Amp running boards, and some XD Mennace 808's in 22". Hopefully will get to install the wheels mid next week, gonna try and squeeze some 285/55r22's under there.

Looks good so far man!

I really like the white GMC emblems on front and back, on that white truck!

 

Question: why does my "trip A" screen in my driver info screen not look like that? I have a little road/fuel pump graphic in the upper right section of my trip meter screens.

[NIXONRIDE]

Do you have a Denali? If not then that's why...this is the Denali gauge cluster...has two other styles as well.

 

[Boardmember]

No I have SLT. I was looking at the last pic in the series in the first post. The gauge layout is exactly what I have, except the info screen is different.

 

Is that the same cluster you show in the last tow pics in the second post? Then you indicate putting an E&G Denali style grill...

 

I guess it's late for me. I'll read this again in the morning.

[NIXONRIDE]

No you are correct...the difference is the stock SLT cluster has rings with the fishes set in them...the Denali cluster just has the speed and tach gauge and the whole middle and top is digital...the std setting looks like the regular cluster but it is all digital if that makes sense...I can take more pictures tomorrow...but you have to purchase a new cluster and ship it to Chris white and have it reprogrammed to work in your SLT. Here is a pic of what it looks like shut off.

Looks really nice and clean.

[NIXONRIDE]

Thanks guys...I forgot to add that I have the chrome rear tailgate handle as well, planning on color matching it as well as possibly the stock fender flares.

I like the Silverado front end for '16 a lot.

[NIXONRIDE]

Yeah we are gonna take a couple pics side by side now that I have mine all color matching

[cbrsilv15]

Looks great. I really like the GMC front ends better than the silvy.
