Got the new 2019 Silverado RST and was not a fan of the wood trim, I believe there is no options on that, they all come with it. So wrapped them and it looks little better.5F0D41CF-BFF8-46C2-8BCE-76794084E0C8.thumb.jpeg.ccf97805aae644debf02b26e86b65d09.jpeg

That LT/RST “wood” is my least favorite of the bunch. Looks much better with the wrap and fits the RST’s personality perfect. Nice work!

That looks great, how long and what wrap?

 

3M carbon fiber vinyl wrap. Couple hours of work.

DIY Project?  If so, did you take the arm rest off of just cut 'n wrap? Got a link for your wrap?

Yes weekend project. I took the wood covers off the doors they pop right off. Carbon fiber vinyl on amazon. I tried matching it to the carbon look what is inside of the headlights. Then got cute with it and did couple other things with it. Not sure if I will keep it on the truck or not.

GM got everything on the RST completely wrong

I wouldn’t say everything completely wrong, few things here and there. The color matched bumpers  is really the only reason I went with the RST.

I basically tried to match the carbon to the carbon that is already inside of our headlights.

Looks good!  I know when you have all that leftover film you just start looking for other things to wrap. lol.

 

It's a lot of fun to do.  Nice job OP!

I did the same exact thing on my 16. I actually like the look of the wood on the RST so I decided to stick with it. Plus my interior is grey and brown leather, so the black carbon fiber would look pretty bad. Great looking on the all black though. Nice job!

    • Well one of our most reliable vehicles was sold yesterday. The first and only I gave for free to a grandkid. If they got skin in the game they take care of it. My wife bought new. Five years later my daughter got it to use. We got it back and gave it to our grandson after graduation. He did zero maintenance just oil changes. When the AC quit he drove his mother’s car rather than get it fixed. Instead he just bought a beater and sold the Elantra. 
    • I usually do as well or better than the sticker for mileage. Usually better going west than east. North then South. Wind makes a difference. I’m not usually a conspiracy theorist. But it did dawn on me I’m going by the vehicle calculation. Now that would be interesting.

    • What’s missing in all this is patience and investment in the future. Buy a 170K starter home. Ten years later sell it invest in a more expensive home. Eventually you’ll have a 600K home and pay starter home payments. Buy a starter car. Maintain it well. Save the payments after it’s payed for then buy an expensive car if you desire. Buy a tumbler make your own coffee, pack your lunch. Cook your own dinner. Most importantly take care of your car.
    • People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.
