Did some things to the Silverado
 
I am low on cash lately and needed to do something. I have a problem with modding every vehicle I own, one way or another!

Here are some before and after pics.
Painted the bowties, debadged, molding delete.
I have to repaint the front because of a bug who thought it would be fun to land in wet paint!

When I'm ready I'm going to paint the grille with real automotive paint and supplies, not just a rattle can!

The moldings looked out of place once I debadged it, especially since they were a different shade of blue.

Now I just need to figure out if I want a more agressive stance with a leveling kit or a lowering kit. The leveling kit is just a 2" lift for the front, the lowering kit would be 2" at all four corners.

Ok but I didnt think I posted any of these pics on here before, so I figured I show them all.

Thats it, you just lost your contest privileges!

It does look pretty plain right now but once my wifes lease goes back, I can put a couple bucks into it. No more new cars/trucks too damn expensive.

The Fixer 08-27-2009 11:25 PM

Looks much better, I'm a fan of the !badges and moldings - I did the same with my Cherokee. And the black bowties are a neat idea!

miketa95 08-30-2009 01:34 AM

looks good I wanted to delete the badges on mine and paint my chevy logos black or body color as well.

cdacda13 08-30-2009 10:39 AM

Without the badges and molding, its looks too plain.

The Emblems look really nice tho.

myfoot2020 08-31-2009 07:33 PM

no molding, no up front spots at WalMart unless you don't mind soccer mom door dings. looks great, I'd be scared to park near anybody

mc73nova 08-31-2009 07:39 PM

Thanks

I park far away from everyone almost everywhere I go. I rather walk a few more feet, than pay for some bodywork because of a moron who doesnt care about vehicles.

This. I always do this, no matter the vehicle. We all park across teh lot and together when we go after the track, for example. I only park close to car guys.

ib4200 09-01-2009 01:54 AM

You don't have to worry about dings, but you have to worry about ketchup...
