My 2026 LTZ has the black essentials package. Has anyone converted the mirror covers and door handles to black? I've seen them listed but not feeling good about something that just glues over the existing chrome. I wouldn't mind having them in the body color either of Lakeshore Blue.

 

TIA

I did the black covers on my Tundra. The truck was black and the chrome looked terrible. The black covers used 3M VBH tape which is pretty effective stuff. The Silverado we now have is Northsky blue and the bits are black.

 

I am surprised that your "essentials black" package came with chrome bits. 

 

Mine has the Z71 Sport Edition Trim that makes everything dark or black. The only thing that is chrome on mine is the Z71 badge but that is probably because of the year (2023). 

 

If you look for the black covers, that is probably the best way to change the parts to black with the minimal cost. Painting would be next and then replacing the parts would be the costly, especially the side mirrors.

they are painted, not overlays

He is correct, they replace the existing cover.  you will need to partially take your mirror apart to install.  they replace the top and outer trim piece.   I did mine a while back, they look great.

I wish they offered that package minus the z71 package. I'm not a fan of the chrome.

I saw some stick on covers on Etsy that looked pretty good. They have black ones and colored ones. Just google for door handle covers and mirror covers and pretty much any other cover to hide the chrome.

Funny enough, watch the videos,  I broke one of the bottom mirrors trying brute force, it cost me and extra $30 for not paying attention.

      Yeah I don’t leave ANYTHING just sitting supposedly maintaining my battery on a vehicle or RV for multiday periods. I connect a charger as needed to provide a full charge, then disconnect it and either monitor the battery or follow a set schedule for periodic charging.

      NEW TRUCK

      Get the 5.3. I`m not a Ford guy.😉   I think these L84`s are less problematic than the L83`s. Certainly less than the L87.

      NEW TRUCK

      By PUSSLEGUT · Posted

      I have finally paid off my mortgage and can now purchase a new truck. I would greatly appreciate any opinions on the purchase of a new 2026 GMC Denali 5.3L or 6.2L with the Denali reserve package. I am not interested in the 3.0L.  Or should I go buy a Ford?   Thank, John

      One of the few things I enjoyed about my time in the midwest was taking off on weekend drives. Unlike home, where we are boxed in by mountains and water, those rules don't apply to the inland plains. Roads connect and sprawl everywhere. While Minnesota is flat, it's not completely featureless and there are fast moving rural roads with curves and slight elevation changes. I used to relish heading out in a particular direction with no set destination, no curfew, and weaving through little townships, wherever the roads would take me. Along farms, lakes, or through the deciduous trees... It was beautiful in its own way, and the seasons were so distinct there. Fall drives yielded amazing shows of color and contrast. Summer drives rewarded with the and amber evening glow of the prairie (and lots of juicy bugs).    I do a lot of that here in my home state too. But it's much less mysterious/intriguing. I've traveled most roads in the region, and every road that's fun to drive within a good radius of my house. But every drive, even on the same old roads, is still enjoyable. I know where I can lean hard into the throttle or really throw the car into a curve. There are exercise loops for when I just need to keep certain cars limber, and much longer routes to settle in and enjoy a drive and put some miles on. All the mountains and water make for some really awesome roads for spirited driving. But not all my driving is spirited, for example, that's not really enjoyable in my pickup or this Blazer (that's still here...).   Sometimes a good drive is followed by a ritualistic wash before tucking the car away...

      L8S For 2027

      By C/K Man · Posted

      'GMAuthority' is reporting the 2027 HD's will have the L8S 6.6L gasoline V-8.  There was some talk here about the L8S awhile back.  Not sure what changes it will have now as it seems the 2027 emissions regulations have changed from what was originally proposed.  The big question will be is L8S just a stopgap for the last 2 years of the current T1 HD platform or will it carry forward to the next generation 2029 T1-2 HD's?    I assume the L8S will still be a Gen. V engine.
