Default My Blue Silverado

Took some pictures of the truck today. Got a new pair of 17's and did some color matching. Let me know what you think.



Back to the competition.

Black and White

looks nice.. did you colormatch it yourself or take it somewhere ? i'm wanting to do the same. how much did it cost to paint them pieces if you took it somewhere?

The mud flaps are staying on. I might remove the front ones. I'm undecided on the bug deflector. The next mod might be LTs and retune. The future mods are really undecided until I get out of college and get a job.

Not sure, went to the museum, came out to look for a location to take some pictures and stumbled across them. It was funny because no one was out there looking at them.
This caught my eye (black one).

I bought the handles from the dealer and painted the rest (Rattle Can). It cost me maybe $40~55 total (it would be cheaper if you had a simpler color).

Looks good. Can't go wrong w/. that color.
What are the mirrors off of? On my 04 LS, my mirrors are plain black texture. So, I'm thinkin yours are off a LT.
Ya, mud flaps might not lend a clean look, but u prolly don't have chips behind rear tires like I do.

Look for a PM.

Get some sheets of invisible bra and take off the mud flaps. Match the invisible bra with the center of the bottom body line and wrap the same area that the mud flap protects. Sounds sketchy I know but a buddy of mine did it with his Z71 and its held up. He bought the truck new and he has only redone it once in 100,000 miles. Its barely noticeable, especially compared to a mud flap and protects just as well. You can even wax the stuff to keep it clear so its even less noticeable. Just an idea for you. Truck looks good though. Love that color...

Lose the mudflaps and bug deflector. Truck looks clean otherwise.
