2017 Silverado 1500 Z71 Midnight Edition Build


Rob1431

Recommended Posts

In May I got a 2017 Silverado 1500 Z71 and I have already started my build with a few minor changes. I am going to start a page that will follow my build. This is my first truck so I would appreciate it if I could get some feedback and suggestions.

 

 

 

 

What I've done:

-- 20% tint on the side and back windows

-- Debadged the tailgate

 

Coming soon (open to all suggestions):

-- Exhaust - I want a deep sound but minimal drone

-- Lift - around 3-5 inches but I don't want it to ride like crap

-- Rims and tires

-- Side steps

-- Windshield tint

-- Replace the Z71 badges with black and red/black and blue (don't want any chrome)

-- Replace bowtie outlines to match the Z71 badges

-- Offroad bumpers

-- Truxedo Lo Pro tonneau

Looks good

Here's my 2017 midnight crew cab 5.3 LTZ

BDS 6" fox 2.0 rear shocks

Fuel Savage 20/10

Falcon wild peak M/T 35/12.5

Amp research power steps

Stubby antenna

20% Tint

Remove lower valance

On the order

GM cold air

GM performers borla exhaust

Was going to get the S type called borla to ask

about drone and I was told that it could still happen so I change my mind.

I'm going to buy the 1.75" Bora spacers for the rear to even mine out. Everything I've read has been positive as long as there installed properly.

I talked to my guy at SoCal super trucks and he said he has some we can try to see how it looks and then we can order them
