"New" Square two-tone

I am gauging interest in these builds being done by some inventive Chevy Dealers. I am building one on a 2015 double cab.

Two Tone is a wrap. painted factory wheels, level kit. What do you think?

If not allowed because not tech 73-87, I am sorry.

Re: "New" Square two-tone

I think doing it as a wrap is a great idea. Get tired of it, peels right off.

I think I'd have to see it in person. Definitely has potential.

Re: "New" Square two-tone

Personally, I love this idea. If I were in the market for a new truck, without a doubt it would be a new Silverado with a two tone wrap like this. I have seen several variants of this since the first truck was done and blew up on social media. I actually like the one below a little better. It gives you that classic look but flows better with the lines of the new truck. I know as a wrap this version complicates things slightly because now you have to wrap the door handles as well, but I think it's worth it.

Re: "New" Square two-tone

I like it - just two points I would be pose - what about tinting the top part of the taillight assembly to blend it with the blue a little bit, and the tailgate looks a little animated. I don’t know if you can or would even want to fix those, otherwise I really like the truck!

Re: "New" Square two-tone

I'm not sure I like the yellow stripe. Overall though I think it's nice and a cool way to customize yur truck.

Personally my '16 will stay white so we can keep calling it fridge. Which is funny since our fridge is black.

Re: "New" Square two-tone

Hills Hot Rods hit the nail on the head with this one. Not really a fan of the "make your new truck look like an old truck" thing, but the later two tone scheme works well.

Re: "New" Square two-tone

Im being picky but that bodyline striping should have gently followed the front edge of the fender flare all the way down-otherwise looks pretty good imo

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Isn’t that an 80s tailgate image with a 70s panel?

I'm digging the black/silver one a lot. Not sure about the chrome strip that they added but I like the rest.
