Hey guys, was just wondering how you guys felt about chrome on a white 2017 lt silverado. I am talking about chrome on both bumpers, mesh grill chromed, mirrors, handles, and wheels. I have seen a few down the road that are all chromed out and oh boy do they look SHINY and Blingy when the sun hits them. Makes the truck stand out way more, which i love. What is your guys preferance? Personally i hate the color matched grills, makes for a very subtle look, looks fine i guess. I want to chrome out my mesh grill, mirrors and handles. I’ll post a pic of mine and a pic of one with a chromed out grill. Which one looks better? One on top is mine.

To each his own...when I bought my '10, it was the chrome that caught my eye.  After a few months, I hated the look of the chrome and wound up getting some color matched handles and mirror caps

I'd say to each their own also since I bought a midnight edition 2016. But I agree with poster above because I want to throw maybe some chrome 20s on mine and maybe the chrome chaining grille on it. But that would look good. I had a pearl white high country in mind reading your post

Like dsr611 said, to each their own. Everyone has their preference. On the right vehicles, I think chrome looks sharp and makes the vehicle stand out with a little bit of a luxurious touch.

 

Me, however, I can't stand chrome on my own vehicles. It always comes off. I'm a blacked out kind of guy. Last 3 vehicles (current truck included) had no chrome and if it did, it was replaced with black. I took off my chrome Z71 door emblems and rear tailgate emblems and replaced them with Redline emblems. The only chrome I have (well, it's not "chrome") is the silver around the black Chevy logos. ?

I like the color matched look but I don’t mind some chrome. I think the color matched bumpers, especially in front make the truck look better. Issue with that is rock chips.

My 2018 SLT 6.2 max tow has the standard chrome bumpers, door handles and trim. Going to leave it.

What does bother me is the door rocker is exposed and easily gets scratched when people exit and enter truck. I’ve “reminded” my passengers to not slide their foot when exiting and entering on the paint but it still happens. Since GM put anti chip paint there, I can’t put 3m clear tape over it.

My truck is white so I can get almost all of the shoe marks and scuffs out with some wax.

Precious generations, doors cover most of the rocker. I added chrome on bottom to cover rock chips from being 23 years old. And it matches chrome bumper line.

 personally would say to go for it. My truck is Blue Topaz Metallic with Chrome everything (from the factory) and it stands out from the next truck and I love the way it looks.

The chrome looks nice, but I'm old school and it seems the younger generation prefers no chrome. Anyway, I vote go for the chrome!

 

My grill is black like your existing grill, but my truck is black, so maybe it's not as noticable. Your black grill seems to stand out a bit more since your truck is white. Don't get me wrong, your truck is still beautiful in my view! 

Here's mine:

When I was shopping for my 2018 I was looking at High Country's because I wanted a 6.2. However I didn't want the Brown interior and the only ones I could find with the black interior were 5.3's. I ended up finding this loaded LTZ with a 6.2 and swapped to a high country grill and painted bumpers to get what I wanted. I just felt the chrome front bumper made the chrome overwhelming.

    • Those  headrest speakers look fun! Standard panoramic roof on the AT4X might be a deal breaker for me unless I can delete it. Maybe I should just supercharge my truck and call it a day. We'll see what I think of all the new trucks when I see them in person. 
    • "Increase"?   You want to "increase" your turning radius?     What is your truck?  What kind of cab and bed do you have currently?  Is it stock?  Modified?  Lifted?  
    • OP's quote is parts and labor.  Not just parts.     The # you found isn't the right one.  But besides that, the right # is the same price within a couple bucks.  $5802.01.    Now, factor in labor and fluids.  Book time is 17.1 hours for a Colorado 8 speed.  At $200/hr for a dealer average rate, its $3420 just in labor.  We are already at $9222.  Fluid and other necessary items, there's your $400-500 more.      Also.  Your "discounted" transmission.  Which is 99% likely quoted off of GM Parts Direct as that's the MSRP I found on their site.    You failed to note the $597 in shipping charges.  So we are right back almost to MSRP.  $5794.  Oh.  AND, you better have the $4000 for the core charge which you'd have to pay and get refunded, AND you gotta pay to SHIP THE CORE BACK.    So now you'd have paid MORE to buy that one online yourself, even after you get your core refunded.

    • Length/amount of data capture will be important to consider, sifting through 5 minutes of a data log can be enormous when it is stored in milliseconds. Being able to find the 'event' let alone decipher it.   Presumably the driver would notice something and hit a button to capture the 'window' of data. That window has to be large enough for the operator to recognize the event and react accordingly.    The data has to be able to be retrieved easily.   The data has to be able to be understood. Which is the biggest challenge, dealer techs won't even know what most of it is and would likely not even look at it if an owner brought it to them. Meaning the owner, the least educated/qualified, trying to understand it.    How will the data be presented? Could specific PIDs be selected and a timelapse graph be watched? How will a specific value be noted as abnormal? Additionally, a good data logger would be able to 'learn' normal values for a specific vehicle and flag abnormalities automatically. It could in theory watch parameters degrade over time and suggest maintenance as needed. (If the MAF reading begins tapering off for a given set of other readings - MAP, throttle position, Ambient, etc.. a flag to check air filter.) With the amount of data available, a device (really the vehicle rather than an additional accessory) should be able to do more than issue a DTC. It should be able to run the full diagnostic suite automatically and present a solution rather than a code. (It's not the 90's anymore). The technology is available for the vehicle to not just say "P0087", it should know low fuel pressure, check other PIDs to narrow down the problem itself, and determine if it is a lift pump, high pressure pump, regulator, leak in the fuel line, clogged filter, etc. Even if it can't narrow it down, it should be able to guide the user to the likely problems.   This would be a major problem for dealer service departments, which are the manufacturers customers it is in their collective best interest to NOT have this available to the consumer.   Further, if the owner is going to be the primary consumer of the data, it's got to be at a consumer price point vs. dealer only specialty tool price.   This group is more 'involved' in their vehicle than general public/consumer and will have knowledge, experience, needs and desires that are quite different from the market at large.
