my 2010 GMC Sierra.

My 2010 GMC Sierra Extended Cab. I'm new to the site and just showing people my truck and giving ideas becasue this is where I get most of mine.

-blacked out GMC emblems.
-20in chrome denali rims plastidipped black.
-removed side molding on doors.
-10,000k HID's.
-front end leveled up.

I'd love to have more ideas becasue I'm always looking for something else to do.

 

I'll play...

Seen here are:
I
(1) 35W HID fogs by Krypton
(2) $59 if I remember correctly
(3) 15 minutes to install
(4) Rated 5 due to product quality. Had to reverse the leads in order to get them to work.

II
(1) Aeroskin smoke colored bug deflector
(2) $40? can't remember
(3) 15 minutes to install
(4) Rated 6 due to product quality. It's been on only a few months and is coming loose.

 

Sorry it took so long for me to play in my own thread, but I wanted to get the guard installed before my post.

I
(1) Westin Sportsman Grille Guard
(2) $496.97 (with tax)
(3) 1.5 hrs
(4) 10 of 10. Granted, I've only had it overnight, but I bought exactly what I researched and wanted.

II
(1) Dupli-color high gloss blacked out Bow Ties
(2) Free, left over from a previous household project
(3) 4 hours (30 min to scotch-brite the gold, 30 min to tape off, and 6 coats per bow tie) still have to polish out imperfections
(4) time will tell

III
(1) Removed Door Guards
(2) Free
(3) 2 hrs (remove, polish. and re-wax)
(4) 9 of 10. Now I have to park at the end of the parking lot

IV
(1) Window Tint (appointment is in 3 days)
(2) $70+tax (local company)
(3) 45 min
(4) pending

V
(1) Truck Champ nerf bars
(2) $75 off craigslist
(3) 1 hr (by hand)
(4) 5 of 10. They are a little scuffed up and starting to show rust bubbles

 

Here's one shot after I added the 6.2L emblem. Can't seem to add more than one pic at a time,so I may have to just add more pics in a follow up comment. Whatever.

Here's a side shot after the leveling kit

 

Here's one more shot of the 2011 grill insert with black mesh and blacked out bowtie,Just didn't care much for the chrome mesh inserts on the 2011s so the dealer allowed me to swap out at no charge.

In total the only mods I've done to date are:

1) rear wheel liners GM cost $99 highly recommend
2) front leveling kit/ billet aluminum/cost $59/installed myself/highly recommend
3) blacked out bowties front and rear/ looks more manly IMO/therefore highly recommend :lol:
4) installed 2011 grill insert with black mesh/also done for manly reasons/ highly recommended
5) added stainless steel lazer cut 6.2L emblems to rear gate/ yet another manly addition/highly recommended
6)Also had dealer allow me to keep the 18" Z71 rims from my 2011 along with the BFGs/ IMO look much nicer that the 17s the 2012 came stock with
7) added Z71 skid plates to lower frame to protect engine and transfer case/dealer included these as part of the deal/tapped holes and installed myself. Didn't care much for the self tappers that came with the skid plate kits.

Does 16U, "Steel Grey Metallic" count as silver? If so, count me in the roll call. All I've got is a RC level kit, tint, and line-x premium.

 

AW, what percentage is that tint?

 

Glad to see a Silver truck roll call, would hate to be left out!
2005 Sierra 1500 CC.5.3L Silver Birch Metalic. I have only had it a month so I have a ton more I have on my to do list for it. So far:

-20% tint on frint windows and windshield strip to match rear windows
- Iron Cross Nerf bars (in stainless)
- Flow master 40 Series on factory pipe with 3.5" tip out the passenge side.
- came with Fierce Attitude M/T tires that I think are awesome.

having issues posting a pic on this post, but there are a couple on my profile for your viewing pleasure.

 

AW, what percentage is that tint?

If ur talking to me, its 50% side front with a 5% visor strip. O have black interior which makes the light tint look darker.

 

silver, really guys?

 

2012 "Silver Ice Metallic" 1500 5.3L 6 speed 4X4 All Star Edition. picked it up last week. Have nerf bar and side bed rail covers coming so far. Big improvement from a 1978 K20 with 350 and 4 speed.

 

Plain old Silver Birch. It's only a work truck so I have tons of work to do, including adding power windows, drop shackles, rims, roll pan, remove tailgate decal, the works.
It has tint that the dealer put on a few days before I bought it so I don't know the percentage.
Two 12" Kicker Comps bridged and seriously underpowered on a Kicker DX 300W 2 channel amp.
JVC KDR530 headunit.

 

silver, really guys?

Is there a point to ur post?

Fresh tint

 

Fresh tint

What % did u decide on?

 

25% That picture makes it look much darker than it is. I was just looking to match the factory tint in the rear. It's only been on for about a half hour, but very happy with Independent Window Tinting in Rapid City, SD [shameless plug] and solar guard tint.

 

Good stuff man. I'm so happy with my tint. The amount of heat inside my truck and in my face on those hot days was drastically reduced.

The tint looks great! One of my friends has 5% on the side and rear windows and 40% on his windshield. Can't see for **** out of his truck. But cops here in NM don't care about tint
