I used a real small bit, if I remember correctly 7/32nd. The screws were fine from the kit but you have to hand tighten an impact drill would strip the head. There’s a small strip of rubber around the outer edge that keeps the trim off the slightly off the fender. 
 

I don't know how I missed your post from back in October.  I'm glad it was quoted the other day.  I've been drooling over those fender flares and will be ordering a set soon.  Thanks!

Hello just got a 2019 RST this being my first vehicle worth anything I’m seeing a lot of talk about different types of tint I thought a tint was a tint what other types is their. I also have a fair amount of chips on the bumper already what are your guys suggestions on getting it corrected and then the best possible ways to prevent any imperfections coming back any input at all helps as I am fairly new to this. 
 

also upgrades so far… line-x, and the gm floor mat for the rear

Congrats on your new truck! I have the same year and trim. The best tint you can go with is ceramic tint. It's much more efficient at blocking out heat. But it does cost a bit more. I got a great deal on mine though. Most places will charge around $600 to $800 for full ceramic. I got mine done from my usual guy for $400. Limo all around, limo strip on wind shield and the lightest film on the entire front wind shield to help with heat.

For the bumper and or your entire truck, go with a PPF. It's similar to vinyl wrap but a thicker, more protective film that is clear. That will maintain your stock color. You can also go with a matte type that again is clear but adds a matte look.

Hope this helps!

Just curious, did you install that rear block? If so, any pictures?

Sorry about the late reply. I did. First two photos are after the 1" rear block install, the last two just the front Bilstein leveling shocks.

What did I do to my truck today?  Well I finally found it at a dealership in another state, so I drove there and finally after months of waiting have my incredible 2021 GMC Sierra AT4 Carbon Pro with the 6.2L and tech package. These trucks are amazing.

I'll buy those faux wood ones off of you.

If he doesn't come through for you, you can buy mine.  I have them packaged and ready to go.  Just send me a PM.

Thanks.  His don't look like the faux (digital) wood that I already have, they look like the actual wood grained trim inserts.  If yours are the actual wood grained trim inserts let me know and Ill take them off your hands.

I didn't catch that.  I thought all the "wood grain" interior accents had the silver mesh grid in them.  Mine have that mesh, so you won't be interested in them.

Gangly I tried to PM you but it won't let me.🙄

Tried to PM you as well and the message box wouldn't allow me to type anything.

    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
