My very first mod was the Corsa DB catback exhaust. My second was my Ionic Gladiator Running Boards. My favorite mod was my lift and tires.

They are awesome so far! I only have about 300-400 miles on them but they are super quiet and all around great so far. I have +1 offset and it's just about flush with the fender4d0f4e17d361c5e7f6cfe52cc650057a.jpg

So awesome man. +1 is like 3/4 of an inch poke more than the + 20 and my tires are bout 1" wider so I'm hoping for he same look. Love your truck. I'm crossing my fingers on mine.

I haven't really driven too much at night yet but what I have they seem great. I despise yellow lights and these are nice and white. I wouldn't say they have a lot more output than stock but are defiantly whiter.

I believe my first mod was LED interior dome lights. After that were the steps so the wife could get in the truck (she's short).

6 days they had my truck.
They are 5.7 miles one way from the dealer that I went through.
I left them 1/8 tank of gas.
I picked it us with 1/4 tank of gas.
65 MILES were put on the truck.

WTF!!!!!!!!!!

I couldn't get an answer from the dealer as to why and the shop that did it was closed.

It had a passenger in it at one point.
Both front seats were moved and leaned back like someone was out for a joyride.
All the mirrors were moved around.

not good at all. I honestly dont know what could be done about it though other than complaining to the dealer. hopefully someone else has some advice. I would be pissed too. ...... unless they took it to another bed liner place than what they told you. I could see that happening.

Are the Sylvania headlights and fogs the basic ones from advance? Was wondering how well they worked and also do you like the stubby antenna? was looking into that myself. thanks for posting!

The stubby is okay. Honestly, I didn't expect the amount of flex at highway speeds in the one I got. It literally bends over almost flat at 70mph. The reception suffered a little bit but I don't listen to regular radio very often so I'm not all that concerned - it was far more of an aesthetic change than a functional one for me.

As for the lights - no, I'm using the zXe versions. I get them for free because, well....I work for the company (the very facility, in fact) that manufactures them. ;)

A bit off topic, but I used to work for a company that designed and built stainless steel vacuum chambers, and I'm sure one of the companies we had a contract for was Sylvania. The Sylvania chambers I believe were used for making sealed beam lights. They were big upside down 'L' shaped units, about 8 feet tall, with a big heavy door on one side. Maybe you know what I'm talking about. If I could find a picture of one I'll post it.

Back on topic, how do you like the ZXEs? I need something better for my truck, can't see **** at night. I've used Silverstars in past vehicles and liked them.
