Any chance you have a picture? I've got a shadow gray custom and am between the red or matte black. Would really appreciate it!

I'm sorry that I don't have a better picture...

Added letters to the embossed tailgate on my trail boss custom, yay or na?

Did it a few months ago. It’s subtle to say the least, but in the right light it pops.

I installed the letters from bdtrims.com  They are very good quality. I ordered Domed style and in chrome.  https://www.bdtrims.com/letter_inserts/Chevrolet_letter_Inserts/Tailgate-Plastic-L

I did not want subtle but I did want clean and classy so I went with black letters for my white LTZ. I think it makes it really stand out but it’s not too in your face.

I actually like the flat black letters on the gloss black! I think I will do the same myself.

Is everyone just buying lettering from random ebay sellers or is there one better than others?

I was going with flat black on my black RST, but I think I’m going to try the gloss black /red outlined letters and see how that goes.

I did carbon fiber black on my white RST, the carbon look is subtle but I like it.....they were only like $15 so easy and cheap to change or take off.....I like it and don't see too many with letters on tailgate where I live

That was my other option...I liked it too.

Domed black with red outline BD Trims (CHEVROLET) and these Ebay Cheapy (Silverado LT) which are not the same size as stock.

I removed the Silverado badges on the front fenders. The fenders are soft aluminum and you really need to be careful.

      What did you do to your "other" car (aka musclecar) today

      By OnTheReel · Posted

      Over the last week I installed GM coils, Taylor wires and Red Line SI-1 in the fuel which cleared up a slightly rough idle. Coils made the biggest difference even just A/B testing one bank at a time. I know everyone says the OEM ones last forever but at 212k on these units they were tired. Fade to failure, like shock absorbers in my experience. Also slightly richened the target idle AFR in the tune for good measure. I have zero tolerance for anything less than buttery smooth, and since emissions are not a concern I can get there any way I please.

      ^^ Yep, that's all it was. The fuel line had rubbed through on one of the spider legs and was severely leaking. Even the lines/nut and bolt kit are harder to find and I think I paid $84 (Standard HK-11) for the kit. Ripoff. But when you're the only brand still making it...   There are a few things left before the truck is Atlas® Certified (and I've thoroughly spent too much on it considering what it's worth). My RockAuto shopping cart total is about $250 and growing:   -Radiator (there's a pinhole leak, driver's upper corner where a cooling line bolts in, the threaded insert weld cracked) -Water pump (mine squeaks, I assume it's shot) -Lower radiator hose (it's original, if replacing cooling parts, this shall be touched too) -Starter (It's not always engaging the flywheel, get the whirrrrrr sometimes when I turn the key but no crank) -Door hinge replacement pins (already purchased, need to install)   Suspect/borderline parts NOT included in shopping cart (only if I want to opt for bonus points): -Motor mounts. Someone twerked the radiator fan shroud, so I can't tell if the motor mounts are bad/squished or if it's truly just a deformed fan shroud. I reassembled the shroud correctly but the plastic is still re-forming/relaxing where it was all mangled and bent, and the fan still chafes it occasionally, but it's 99% better. -Left rear door speaker is blown -Rear wiper motor is shot (horrible grinding noise) -One of the wheels is missing the bowtie center cap. This drives me insane to look at, I'll just need to find a replacement.   I've already replaced: -Driver's door mirror -Idler pulley -Tensioner pulley -EGR -MAP sensor -Hood prop retainer -Intake plenum fuel lines -Intake gaskets -Thermostat (and flushed cooling system) -Radiator cap -Radiator overflow reservoir cap   And it needs tires, and could use a set of front brake pads, and the brake system flushed. And it could use a transmission service, and if I'm doing that, why not differentials, and transfer case, and oh hell, why not flush the power steering.   Is there anything I won't touch? Or...do I just get it to a point where I can send it down the road?

      Some Assembly is Required

      Was checking out a 39 Buick at a charity auction and found the statement on the cover of the owners manual interesting. What it can do for you, and what YOU can do for IT? Framing your ownership as a two way relationship! Seems this type of thinking is all but gone with the non-enthusiasts, and something like that would never be printed on the cover of a manual. It would likely offend people. Hey, I just spent two years salary on an SUV and it has the nerve to request anything back from me???? 😂
