I went from flares and body line down being plasti dipped to a nice clean truck. I think it looks better. I left the grill for now, but I think ill color match it at some point. Now all I need to do is adjust my front bumper and polish my headlights with the 3m kit. Oh and I cant decide if I should remove the badges or not.

I agree, it looks much better, but some plastidip on the running boards might clean up the overall look a bit
Just a suggestion

I took the 2500 badge off and left the skinny Duramax/Allison badge on mine and I like that, but I can't decide if I want to remove the door dinger moulding or not...
But you don't have that concern
When I have more than $3 im going to just pull these crappy steps off cuz they be oober poopy looking. I agree I think the 3500 badge with be coming off and the LT badge on the cab corner

Thanks Bri
If anyone is interested...
I start my wrap 3" in (about 2 windings around the pipe) with the end of the wrap leading up to the beginning of the pipe like a tail so to speak, then I wrap up to the beginning of the pipe, that way I over wrap my start point and that holds the end secure without a clamp or SS tie...
I stretch the wrap really tight too, make a couple windings let it loose, adjust if need be to follow the stitch line and final wrap it tight again. Then I spray it with a special hi heat silicone header wrap spray from DEI, it takes some time but it's worth it in the end...
Those parts have been wrapped for well over a year now, maybe even two, and been taken off multiple times. I just re-sprayed them before I installed them onto this engine.

Anytime!
That sounds like a good idea, I'd just want to be sure the mouthpiece worked with the intake and sensor and had the same amount of volume as the stock piece so I wouldn't have to tune for it...
But it would be a nice touch to get a custom mouthpiece on there I could PC a cool color like a metal fleck sunburst orange!
When I can afford it, probably when I can build the engine, I want to get all the parts I rattle caned PC'd in a corresponding metal fleck ( like sunburst orange and metallic black)
