Looks great man! And you are right, it will be an easy sell when you make up your mind officially.

Looking at this pic, is there a shorter replacement valance you can swap into?
Otherwise it's dremmel time cause it doesn't line up with the rest of the truck.
Can't remove it completely cause then it won't line up the opposite way by a few mm.

And the clouds are too uneven for my liking.

This is a great build! I didnt know the Silverado could look that good! When I was looking at pick ups, I was more into the Ram world, my neighbor has one and it looks great. Question, I know we all feel the 5.3 on Tahoe, etc is a tad slow but a Pickup with less weight, how does that thing move?

As far as wood vs brushed, I like brushed better when it comes to a sportier looking car/truck. Yours looks very sporty so would look better with all brushed but beige interior may do better with wood. Aweosme looking build man.

Meh, it moves as fast as I need it to. Not much difference in this and my Yukon.

Thanks, I might switch all the wood for brushed, or just get some brush vinyl and wrap it to see if I like it better.

Well your Yukon is the 6.2 so if it moves just as well, thats a plus.

Yea, at the end of the day, the look is always subjective. As long as you like, your winning. Looking at the color of your outside, it seems unique, not black, not blue but inbetween? Maybe vinyl wrap some interior pieces the same color to match? I think the vinyl matching your exterior color would be an awesome look. Two toning some stuff would be nice too but may take away from the vinyl wrapping. All that light color with the vinyl should look lovely.

where are you mounting that stuff? Inside the bed or is there room underneath? I'm guessing inside the bed.

You remove the skid plate and it mounts to the existing bolt holes.
Nice! The setup looks much better in the pic than what it must be in actuality :) Thanks for the insight Yatesypoo

It's actually a really good setup in terms of install. Can barely see it.
