Default Finally getting around to the intro w/pics (56K Beware!)

I've been a member for a while, but I have been reading and searching a lot and haven't made any posts until today. Yes...my trucks a picture *****

Well, I have an '06 Silverado cc 3LT, 5.3 w/3.73s. Here's a list of mods...

Performance: S&B CAI, Flowmaster big block 50 series muffler SI/SO with 3" pipe and a 4" magnaflow tip ran just like stock, Wheatley tune... ordered 180* Jet t-stat (Here, just not installed),Trans-go HD2, vette servo, billet 4th servo, hardened sep. plate and aluminum 1-2 acc. piston.

I am also going to order HPTuners soon and some Pacesetter LTs

Show mods: Esky handles, billet tailgate handle from JPCustoms.com with painted bezel, Carriage works billet grille (cut-out style), painted bow tie, Silver Star highs/lows, 4 High with fog headlight mod, 2" drop shackles, Joe Gibbs 20"s on General UHP Grabbers 285/50/20, painted brake calipers (red), 20% tint...need some 5% on the sun roof, esky platinum gauge cluster and esky platinum A/C vents.

I think that about covers it. Here's a few pics

Thanks! I think I have it lookin' decent, so now I want it to go fast

I would actually like to get the wheels that you have (Stinray IIIs). Centerlines website says they weigh 19 lbs. each and they will clearcoat the polished ones for $45 a wheel. Which means $916 for a set of 20x8.5 polished and clear coated to my door

Yes they will

Not looking for the 13s yet...just some respectable 14s will do for now. I'm sure I'll get the bug and either go with Lq9 swap, or a turbo setup someday.

Nice truck, I've been thinking about painting the calipers. Did you use a special paint?

Looks good,

I used the Duplicolor caliper paint kit. Another company called G2 makes one but it costs a few bucks more. I found the duplicolor kit at autozone for around $25.
