Totally shocked at this one, was excited to remove the big sliver Silverado door moldings today.  But as I started to pull back I noticed there were those darn white body clips with holes in the door itself.  Seriously wtf chevy, talk about a major let done.  Guess there staying on.   Painting the lower running boards today to remove some of the "to much" chrome.

Then why buy the top end model with all the trim? Plast-dip the trim.

Sure ok, but that is how you get other options as well. That trim should be a stick on not extra holes in the door itself.

Too many years of them falling off being taped that's why they went a more permanent route.

And, probably too many owners removing emblems they want for brand and model identifications.

Painting them makes a lot of sense.  Its in such and unusual spot I personally think it looks silly. Its actually not on the side like they normally are its under the flat part of the door which is odd.  Removed them yesterday and put 1" black vinyl wrap across for now.  Can't even see it and it looks so much better.

Ended up used some 1.0 x.125" alum from HomeDepot and wrapped with 3m 2" glossy black wrap, then used 1" double sticky tape to cover the holes.  Happy with it thus far, have to do the other side, its a lot of work wrapping to get all the air out.  Rest was easy.  Getting closer lol

Side mirrors are easy, just buy GM black painted caps and swap them.

Everything is blacked out except for the grill, also remove the old man auto running boards.  Also swapped out the alum trim piece I made with a 1 3/16" vinyl trim I found on eBay  Happy with it, just want to do something with the exhaust and different tires / wheels.  I like the factory 22's but not sure what tires I could swap out to.  Looking for a street tire.

      Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.

      Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍

      Bringing this thread back on topic. I just noticed the incredible lack of bright chrome across the entire new lineup. Even the Denali has tinted the brightwork in the grille and has none elsewhere. None of them have chrome bumpers. As far as I can tell there aren't even chrome mirror caps. I'm curious if this also happens out back? Are there no chrome rear bumpers either? This is quite the departure for GMC.
