Rocket Man's 2008 Bagged CC Silverado Build AKA "THE MACHINE"

[Rocket Man]

Why did you go with brushed aluminum? Just wondering... I had a hard time figuring out if I wanted to cover my woodgrain, but now that I did the whole steering wheel, I guess I'm keeping the wood.

I just like the look. It’s supposed to be brushed titanium so it’s not quite as light as aluminum. It looks a bit lighter in the pics. I thought about the brushed black but my interior is already all black. It needed something light imo.

Did the main dash piece this morning. Thing took me nearly 4 hours.

Installed. Going to try to work on the gaps but it looks way better than before.

It would mix it up a little.

Only problem is it’s a bit of work to remove those...damn. Probably leave it as is for now and see if I like it. The wiring for my air switches is a *****, there’s like 12 connections plus the stereo has a lot. Plus remove the bolsters underneath.... air hoses for the gauge..psh.

That’s what I was thinking but not sure how the black would look in the middle. I think I’ll leave it for now and try to fix the gaps a bit more.
