Sotally Tober's T1 Build

Silverado MAX · December 6, 2019

Awesome looking truck, love everything that you’ve done. Do you still have the lower bumper black section from the RST front end? I’d like to buy it from you if so. I have an LTZ and I’m not a fan of the chrome lower section and don’t want to paint it. I’ll PM you as well. Did you remove the old door handles yourself for the color match? Trying to figure out how to get these door handles off mine for a color match. The unlock button and wire are the problem. Was hoping to not have to remove the interior panels but seemingly like there’s no other way to get to the plug for the door handle wire unlock button thing. Thanks for the help in advance

Thanks! Unfortunately I don't have the lower portion of the bumper or I would sell it to you. The door handles came painted on my RST

Aight dang, yeah I preferred the RST look but couldnt the the 6.2 so I went with the LTZ. Chrome will be gone soon though. Thank you

After almost 4 months I've received the final piece to the gloss black window trim off of a Sierra Elevation. While Chevy does have the option of gloss black center pillars, they do not have the option of the entire trim being gloss black. For some reason it is reserved for the Sierra Elevation. So I snapped a pic of the VIN off an Elevation and headed straight to my Chevy dealership parts department and ordered the gloss black trim. They will be installed on Monday and I will post pics shortly after.

I switched out my Undercover Color Matched Lid for a Snug Lid. I'm happier with the cleaner lines and appearance. My full review of the experience with both companies can be found here:

Remove and send off your headlights to https://www.fastheadlights.com. They will open them up and place a cover over the amber running light preventing the light from emitting. From there they will replace the orange lens with a clear lens and reseal. I've had them for almost a year and the reseal has been bullet proof. Absolutely no fogging or condensation. In my opinion it really cleans up the front end. It can be done on the Sierra as well. The owner of fast headlights, Phil Sheridan, is great to work with and will communicate with you every step of the way.

I appreciate the info

maybe someday someone will make a clear taillight similar to the C7Z corvette

Finally had the gloss black trim from a GMC Sierra Elevation installed. Also had the pieces wrapped in Paint Protection Film to prevent any micro scratches down the line and then coated with Ceramic Pro. Came out super clean especially with the gloss black wheels.
