Thats on the list, along with an electric cut out, programmer, catch can. Maybe headers down the road and a leveling kit.

I have my fingers crossed for all the 11's and up someone breaks the files so a tuner can be added to those trucks.

Well I cut down my antenna about 10" and re glued the ball back on and re painted it and it looks great. Way more sporty and the best part is it was free. And yes to everyone who I assume will ask, the reception is still the same, no difference.

Does the Y pipe change seem to help with power? Any change in sound or volume?

power yes, sound no. I def notice it being more responsive. The sound not really. I had a Magnaflow 14" on there prior so that probably drowned out any sound that the y pipe might have made.

How many coats of Nightshade?
Did you remove the grille to spray it?
Did you remove the emblems to spray them?
Did you remove the entire wheel and tire off the truck to do the plasti-dip?

I think your truck looks great like that. I have the same paint as you but I have more chrome. bumpers/fenders/door handles/fuel door are all chrome on mine...if I started doing some of the same things you did like wheels and nightshade rear lights, do you think it would still look good with the fenders, bumpers, and door handles still being chrome?

I guess I could plasti-dip the fuel door, as well as the door handles.

Thoughts?

You should powder coat the exhaust tips black...aww yeah.

One the head lights I did 1 coat of nightshades. On the fogs I did 2 coats. One the brake lights and 3rd brake light I did 3. Yes I removed the grille to spray it. That is by far the way to go, don't try and mask off the area. It's not super hard to take out. Yes I also removed the emblems. The front one is easy, right behind the grill its held in place by 4 clips and the rear was just 2M double stick tape holding it on. I took of the wheel, left the tire off, just jacked up the truck, took off one wheel, masked off the tire and sprayed the wheel. Dont try and do it with wheel on or you'll get plasti dip on the rotor.

The color that we have is my absolute fav. The reason I got the sport version is because I can not stand chrome and luckily every piece that was chrome is now black. I'm not sure how it would look, I don't think it would look bad, maybe a little different but different isn't always bad. I already did the exhaust tips black, thought I posted a picture of that...

Plasti diping the rims was easy. Jacked up the truck took a wheel and tire off. Masked the tire off around the rim with tape then sprayed away. Did 3 coats with I think 30 min in between each one then ripped off the tape and threw the tire back on and did another.
