I have been contemplating putting a tribute coupe together, iridescent pearl tricoat, with matte bronze and orange stripes, with kalahari interior.
The iridescent pearl tricoat looks really sharp on my 19 silverado.

That sounds really interesting. I know there is guy on Instagram and in here that had a F1FTY that’s he’s wrapped and converted to the Indy version. Looks sharp.

And yes the pearl tricoat is nice. How you like your 19 Silverado?

So far so good. I went from a 2012 x3 m sport to a silverado rst crew cab 4x4 so it has taken some getting used to, it is a big vehicle, compared to the x3 and the fifty. It actually rides stiffer than the camaro (which is fine with me) but that may be due to the 22 in wheels and tires.Imho the bmw interior materials are superior to gm, but the bmws are maintenance hogs.
Truck was dealer located over 8 hrs away, ipt with gideon / very dark atmosphere ( putty colored seats with dark brown dash & interior panels). None of the local dealers had even seen one with that interior.

As I mentioned before, I think for the 50th Anniversary they missed the boat on making them not just white, but red and blue as well. The colors of the Camaro Logo. Maybe they’ll do that for 75 or 100?

Anyone in here running powerstop rotors? I'm on the fence as I've run them previously with no problems. I've heard the traditional rumor that they crack but have yet to actually find a report of that happening in the last few years.

That is a big difference from an x3 to a Silverado. Didn’t know the RST had 22” wheels. That’s going to be fun come tire time.

I like the new body style a lot on the 19s. I have a 14 Sierra that I want to trade in for a newer truck. Just hesitant to get a car note again. It’s paid for.

Good thing it is a company truck when the monthly payments and big bills come. Traded the x to take advantage of the 0% financing. I think the 22's come as accessories. They dealer located another truck I missed out on that had the wheels, and I had to have them. Ended up with 2 sets of tires and wheels, 20's and 22's.
Already had rear wheel wells linex'd, white of box just did not look right. Will probably end up getting the factory liners as well.

Trust me, I want to. Plans may have to wait, neighbor approached us to inquire if we wanted to purchase the lot between our houses from them. Decisions, decisions.

I am.. have put a lot of miles on them - and just had them inspected/serviced. Front pads got changed, rears still have 50% - and rotors didn't need servicing. She has only been to the track once - and does a ton of highway miles mixed with spirited roads and driven like she was built.

I have the drilled/slotted - no issues.. just not as good as Brembo at braking... small difference.

Looks awesome! I wish I had gotten crew cab instead of double cab on my truck. Main reason I want to upgrade. And a few other small reasons.

On one hand, I’m jealous. On the other hand, I’m even more looking forward to hitting the Tail when I go down for CamaroFest.
