**cdale27** · 09-30-2008, 09:46 PM

Well I did it I bought my new truck today. Thanks to Employee pricing and large cash back incentives I was able to buy a whole lot of truck

I am a little bummed that I could not find a 6.0L. I hope I am not sorry but the 6.0 are very hard to find.

The truck is still at the dealer getting I am getting the GMPP exhaust the GMPP Air intake body color window vent shades body colored bug shiled, 6" gm chrome assit step, DVD head rests, stainless bed hooks and a Line X Kevlar bed liner (over the rail). I am looking forward to gettingthis baby.
This truck is Summit White LTZ/ Z71.

A couple of questions:
I am in debate about a pin stripe or not. I was thining a Grey and Red pin stripe or maybe none

What mud flaps are you guys using?

Does any on have any of the GM Tonneau covers if so how do you like them?

Thanks for reading.

Well I am not sure what other mods I should do. I am wanting to look at the tonneau cover and mud gaurds I just don;t know which ones I would like to check them out first. I am thinking about a tune but I need to research this more.

My dealer mentiond Simioniz paint protection any thoughts?

I am also looking for a ton cover that can be easily removed for more hauling.

Also, I've been lookin' into mud flaps as well, but I'm not sure if they're good to have on a truck you plan to take off-roading and mudding as they might get broken off?

Ok fella's I am gettinmg a LineX Xtra liner installed. My truck is a white LTZ Z71 should I try and match my liner to my Z71 decal (meaning going gray or silver) or just stick with a black bed liner? Either way I am having they stencil a Big Chevy Bowtie in the middle of my bed

I put the factory splash guards on mine it has a gold bowtie on the back ones. Looks like you are having everything done at the dealer. I ordered mine from GM direct. Lot better prices for factory stuff.
