Silver Ice Metallic paint fans

2016 Sierra 1500 SLE

Century Royal Cap

AVS Aeroskin hood Protector

 

Kaztskin leather to replace dark ash cloth seats

 

 

Nice looking truck. I'm not usually a huge fan of bed caps but that one is pretty sleek looking.

 

We replaced the cloth in my wife's suv a yr ago with the same katzskin brand as you, also went a few shades lighter. It has held up nicely.

Looks great! I'm also usually not a fan of the bed caps (just resembles an SUV a bit much, as opposed to a "truck"), but that one looks super sharp, very nice. Probably the nicest-looking one I've ever seen, wow. I'm going to get the Katzkin seats for mine, as well and will probably go with black, since that's the color of my dash, console, etc. However, that silver would look good, too.

I haven't put them on permanently yet, just placed the black door handle covers on, to see how it looks. Hmmm, I don't know how these are going to hold up over the years of cold and heat, etc. Does anyone else here have any experience with door handle and tailgate handle covers? It looks sweet, but I'm not sure about this.

Yeah, I don't know about this. Something just seems inherently wrong, about slapping plastic handle covers held on by 3M adhesive tape, on a $48,000 truck. I also have the chrome one for the tailgate handle, since the bowtie is black, figured chrome would look better, but would actually prefer that to be silver. I think I'm going to look into having the handles painted, rather than putting the plastic covers on. Depends on what it will cost.

Ordered on Febuary 4, Shipped March 4, and at dealer on March 23rd. Removed chrome door handles, and mirror caps. Traded in my 2015. The headlights are 100% better than my 2015 lights. Also like the 8 speed transmission.

I sort of agree on the chrome. I like chrome, but not when it's overkill. I just ordered the silver ice paint surround with black inners grille - there's a picture of one on here, earlier in the thread. It's the Rally 1 edition paint scheme grille. I would also prefer to have my Texas Edition and Silverado emblems be black, instead of chrome, but around here (northern Illinois), plasti-dip is not a smart option, due to inclement weather, salt, etc. I see a lot of Nissan and Lexus cars around here, in which the owner plasti-dipped the emblems and wheels, and after about 6 months, they look absolutely terrible. I suppose that spray-painting them black is an option, but far more of a hassle, than it's probably worth, I'd say.

I'll get pictures of mine once we get the hail damage fixed. :(

 

Mine has the carbon fiber decals on it. I'm surprised they left the bumpers chrome though and I'd much rather those be silver.

Thanks!! Yes they came with the truck. I think it was standard on the LT line in 2015. I believe they sell kits on eBay to swap out your chrome ones for paint matched. Good luck.
