Does anyone have a picture of a white RST with black emblems in place of the chrome? If possible one with a Duramax as well?

 

I'm looking at spending some of my Reward points on the emblem package for my 2020 RST with the 3.0.

I just bought the black duramax ones for the hood. Installing this weekend.

Shoot up a picture when you get them installed. I'd be interested in seeing them. I'm debating on getting the whole badge package (non-Z71) and changing all my chrome ones to black. I'm not sure about all the chrome badges when everything else is either black or painted white.

Will do. My plan is to do the tailgate next. ebay has some nice red and black RST badges available. The Z71 I cannot find in gloss black and may get deleted but undecided. 

 

Will post up on the duramax. I may also have some pics in my phone of other trucks, will look

The RST is the only one in the GM package I don't like since it is all black. I may look at eBay for a red/black RST emblem.

That definitely looks better. Hopefully, they are not too hard to put back on after removing the OEM ones. Luckily I just got the truck so hopefully they are not too bad to remove.

Thanks. I found a couple that I'm watching. I'm going to get the other black ones changed out first and then maybe get one like that.

Black looks sooooo much better.  

 

The silver metallic is mine

Agreed @fsuboy75. I just don't understand why they use the chrome emblems when that is the only chrome on a RST. SMH

Exactly why I went all black.  I couldn't stand some black and some chrome!

I can't find gloss black Z71 emblems either.  I've ordered two sets, thinking second one was gloss.  It was same.  I may spray paint them gloss black and maybe add a gloss clear.  It doesn't really look that bad.  The only time it looks awkward is in my garage under fluorescent light, the 6.2 on hood is super shiny and the Z71 is not.  I also am debating just removing the chrome Z71.

Spray it gloss black and clear coat it.    Looks better with than without.

    • This video may not be the exact content for the joke thread but its a lot of laughs so here it is, I've only watched a portion of it so far but if anyone is looking for some light hearted good soap box driving action, its here.

    • Did have to make 1 modification because of the WeatherTech rear mud flaps and that was needing 3 longer screws than what came with the install package. 😄
    • Picked up the liners yesterday. Installed passenger side WITHOUT any modifications. All mounting holes lined up perfectly. Rain is interfering today with drivers side. Very Happy! Will add pics when finished
    • As a matter of amusement I’ll leave this conversation with this. Do you beat the government average fuel estimate? Statistics are a guide to me. Not a rule. Someone once said I have to have the last word. If true and possible may be. I’ll blame that on working in a family business.
    • That is a fair point, and I agree that trying to log “everything in the truck” would be the wrong direction.   There are a lot of modules and a lot of traffic. If the product became a full-truck datalogger, the amount of data would get huge very quickly, and most owners would never use it.   I think the first useful version would need to be narrow: - powertrain-side event evidence - selected high-value parameters - communication / voltage / reset events - pre/post event window - short report first, raw log only as backup   One distinction I should make is between active OBD/PID polling and passive bus capture. If you are polling PIDs through OBD, then yes: the more parameters you request, the lower the effective sample rate becomes, and you are adding diagnostic traffic to a vehicle that is already busy running itself. With passive CAN capture, the recorder is not asking all the modules for data. It is listening to traffic that is already on the bus. So it does not consume vehicle bus bandwidth in the same way that a scan tool polling hundreds of PIDs would. But your point still applies in a different way.   Even if passive capture does not add bus traffic, the recorder still has limits: - processing rate - storage rate - timestamp accuracy - decoder workload - event filtering - report size - user attention span   So the answer cannot be “log everything and let the user figure it out.” The product would need to store enough raw evidence to be useful, but only decode, graph, and present the important parts around the event.   A practical report should probably show: - what triggered the capture - how much pre/post data was preserved - which selected parameters changed - how those values compared to baseline - whether the same pattern happened before - whether any voltage, reset, bus-off, lost-message, or communication fault occurred - selected graphs around the event - raw data only as supporting evidence   So I agree with you. More data is not automatically better. The real product is the reduction from raw data into a useful event report.
