Check it out, my first post on here. Opinions welcome of course, i wrapped the rear plate cover in real carbon fiber and shaved the rear emblem...Im going to do the front chevy symbol too in cf and black out the front grill.

Looks good. Nice clean work there. I love the drop, but are you going to install an air kit or just leave it low?

Drop kit is from [email protected] the 3/5 djm/belltech kit. The wheels are the ltz 20" wheels i powdercoated black. It rides good just a little harder than stock. I can deal with it. The cf i did myself. I shaved the Chevy symbol, fiberglassed to smooth it out, and then wrapped with 2x2 twill cf. Finished with clearcoat. Its a side gig I do, carbonfiberelement.com

Yes, front is upper and lower control arms. Rear is springs, shockes and lower shock extender brackets and lots of hardware. Its a pretty sweet kit, install was pretty straightforward too. Did it with a friend in my garage. Tony's customer service was awesome too.

Take the plastic piece off the bottom of your rear windshield. It'll make the rear end look perfect. Love how it came out! Not sure if the cf would look good on any other color Hoe, but I like this one.

Good work, really liking the contrasting color theme, I do agree on CF the door handles and the bowtie.

Thanks guys, I am in central jersey, I actually just got my new grill in the mail yesterday too. I'm doing the front Chevy emblem in cf and blacking it all out. After that I may go to town on the headlights, pull them apart and black them out.

I had offered way back that I had a connection who could do bowties for our trucks for 150 front and back. No one bit. Looks good! Lemme know if you end up doing the front bowtie, I'll more than likely bite!
