Need Some Help To Decide !

urbancowboy · March 23, 2008

well i have narrowed it down to 2 silverado's a blue granite and a desert brown one 1500 ltz crew cab. with the blue granite truck they have added a chrome pkg, door handles, tow hooks, step shield, chrome bug deflector and a painted grill. this truck is fully loaded except navi. the desert brown is fully loaded, everything. i wanted the blue granite one till the dealer sent me some pictures as i don't like the painted grill, it's just is missing something now. i didn't want to spend the extra 1500 bucks for the add ons, and the desert brown is 600 more on top of that, but least i am getting something i would use. posted a thread about the navi and kind of made up my mind i would it take the navi..... its the colour brown don't know if i would want to look at that for the next few years. what do you guys think blue or brown. i have always been a blue truck guy ......heres a picture of the blue granite, i don't have a picture of the desert brown......help me decide, i want to be happy with the decision i make... not sure if the picture is attached or not

I'd take the Blue Granite in a heartbeat. I'm not knocking anyone who chooses the brown, but come on...

Obviously I am a fan of the Blue Granite but I definitely think that's a sharp truck. With a few little things and four big ones (wheels), you'd have an extremely good looking truck.

Here's what I'd do if I were you:

1. Remove the chrome bug guard (if you have to have one, go color-matched).

2. Replace the gold bow tie with a chromed billet one.

3. Tint the front windows.

4. Pick out a nice set of chrome wheels and add some nice AT tires.

5. De-badge all the extra emblems and stickers.

That would be one sick combination. You're almost there and if you hang out with us long enough, you will end up buying new wheels anyway.

If I had to chose between these two colors I would go with Blue Granite.

I agree...but don't let Daddy or anyone talk you into any "pimp" 20"+ wheels. Get some nice 18's with some meaty A/T's so your truck looks like a truck and not some pimpmobile like Daddy's... j/k Daddy.

No offense to anyone with a brown truuck, but why would you even consider a color that matches a turd? Not a huge fan of "Old Man Blue" either, but that's just IMO, Blue is a nice color. I am actually not a fan of any colors other than Black. I only chose Steel Gray because I am too lazy to keep black clean and gray is the next closest and hides the dirt very nicely.

Funny how you don't like "Old Man" Blue but you do like "I'm stuck in 1990" 18's. J/K, of course, kind of.

I think the brown looks really sharp on the nbs silverados. I would go with the brown if it was up to me.

alaska511 · March 23, 2008

I like that brown too, I almost got it myself...if they had one with ebony leather instead of the tan I would have.

Jeff is just in denial right now, he really wants 20s on that old man colored Sierra

urbancowboy · March 23, 2008

it has the ebony leather

Bostonsfavson · March 23, 2008

I have to admit, as far as browns go, the one they use on the GMT900s isn't that bad. I'd still go with blue though.

I think that blue one either needs the chrome bumper or the handles and mirror should be color matched. For me the way it sits just looks incomplete. So of the 2 I'd probably pick the brown but you need to pick what your happy with, screw everybody else
