Reflectors tinted looks much better and the windows too. Wonder what a tune would do for this package and the 10speed? :think:

Aren't you in the largest negative equity phase for any vehicle right now?

Don't get my wrong, I'll upgrade my Tahoe when I can, but equity is the last thing I'm thinking of for a new car lol

I was more concerned

How high does the transmission temperature go when you are driving normally? My 2018 had a thermostat set to 190 F. Now there’s no thermostat and the highest temperature I saw was around 180 F.

It’s still a 5.3, and HP Tuners want 10 credits to unlock and tune the ECU. The TCM is also locked from the factory.

Congrats on the new Z71. Just picked a White 2021 Z71 up last night. I too am looking for a lift or level as I wanna do some 24x12 wheels. Have an appointment for tint tomorrow, did you use regular tint on that front orange reflectors? Will be following this closely to see what you do, lol

Congrats, they look great in white! The reflectors we used reg tint film as test run, so far they are holding up. I would recommend using laminex or vinyl film for long term and plan to myself. Hoping to see a 4" lift available soon, cause it looks a bit wimpy compared to our old 18 z71 midnight, stock for stock.24s will look great, I think my plan is 22" forgiato terra in all black.

I'll create a separate thread when I have a second to snap some better pics including interior shots.
I have Capt chairs, and a pano roof, they were only 2 options that really were must have for me.
White Z71's are very hard to find around me (Chgo area). 2 of them with pano roof and Capt chairs sold before they hit the lot at 2 other dealers lol.
