What color should I wrap my chrome?

So I mentioned to my fiancee that I wanted to wrap the chrome when I first got the truck.  I no longer wish to wrap it as the chrome has actually grown on me.  She just told me for father's day she paid a tint shop to do my wrap and I need to go and pick it out.  I told her I don't want to wrap the truck anymore.  

 

What do you think?  My reason for not wanting to wrap the truck anymore is because I'm OCD and don't want to see any lines from where the wrap is cut or whatever.  

 

As you can see I just added the chrome lettering to the tailgate.  

 

I initially wanted to wrap all of the chrome carbon fiber.  Now I'm not so sure.  

 

What do you think?  Carbon fiber, body color (I saw a website that said they can match any paint code), black?  

 

Or should I tell her to go get her money back?

Put PPF on the non-chrome front end including hood.  I have an LTZ and although I'm not a huge fan of the chrome, it is different than everyone else blacking out everything.  My .02.

You just put chrome tailgate lettering so why do you wanna wrap the chrome??? Ditch the Texas badge and add nice wheels. You need to decide which route you wanna go on the look. Black? Chrome? Color?

Well I bought the chrome lettering for the tailgate before I knew my fiancee was paying for the wrap.  At this point I had decided on keeping it chrome, but now my fiancee threw me a curve ball. 

 

These are the rims and tires I'm going to go for.

like someone else said, you need to decide if you want chrome, black or what.  Me personally love the look with the color matched grille, so I would color match the chrome.

If you want to do what everyone else decides is best for you, then just put up a poll and go with what the majority picks. Me personally, I would go with what I like as opposed to what others thinks looks best...

Yeah, I just don't want the truck to look ugly.  I don't want to mess it up.  I'm still leaning towards carbon fiber wrap lol.

I wouldn't do the carbon. Don't take away from the clean classy look of the truck. 

What color would you do then?  

 

I also have the option to use the credit towards anything else tint or audio related.  Primary purpose of the truck is to haul the kids around so not sure about adding any subs yet lol.

Other than wasting money, the positive choice about wrapping is..... you can always Unwrap it if you want the Chrome back :thumbs:

Yeah tell me about it.  I wish she would have just gave me the money to go towards wheels and tires or exhaust.

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By GN2018 · Posted

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.
