Love the truck Matt! And I guess I’m the only one who loves the wheels as well. Can’t wait to see the next update!

At least someone likes them!!! lol

[@e1kaiser482]

The truck looks absolutely beautiful!! perfect colour matching, not too less not too much I love it! These wheels stays love them too!

[@matt13ross]

Thank you!

[@devansavage6317]

It's looking sick Matt!! I would say either go white on the bowties to match the paint or go black to match the smoked headlights

[@ImYoutubing247]

That grill really ties the truck together. Looks great Matt

[@KemDIY]

Awesome! Painted parts looked great. When they are off, the black plastic underneath looked sort of burly and cool from a distance. Like a Ford raptor grill. Also bow tie looked great in stock form. Too much paint may make it look cheap in my opinion. Or a black bow tie.

[@prest0_0]

I was gonna say chrome bowtie haha

[@1042Adam]

Huge improvement! Found your page for the Bimmer content but have stayed and enjoyed the Porsche and truck stuff, too. Truck looks awesome.

Stock gold bowtie! White, it will disappear, and black will look cheap. It needs to stand out, not blend in.

[@matt13ross]

White surrounded by the chrome of the bowtie, or no?

[@hornhospital]

Chrome. You CAN overdo the color matching, ya know. 😉

Agreed! Haha

[@paulsullivan1901]

Looks really good!!! I am a fan of the wheels too, but truly it what floats your boat since it's your truck and your channel!. Did jot see any flickering when re attaching the mirror lights. Awesome you made it an interactive video! A+ for that. (Hopefully you know my humor by now) I must say I do feel slided as the Porsche guys get credit for watching the video but not the E36 guys! Once again just my humor.😂😅😂 keep up the fantastic work and I'll be waiting for the next one.

E36 guys, THANK YOU!! haha

[@TruckinLyfe]

Been watching your videos for a long ass time now and had to subscribe when I saw the Chevy! I just got a 16’ 2500hd Sierra with all the stock upgrades and the stock 8” head unit blows. I’m loving the 14” you installed and everything else you’ve done. You nailed it with this truck no matter what the haters say. Can’t wait to see what else you do bro!

[@matt13ross]

Thanks so much, I'm glad you subbed! The 14" made the interior sooo much better.

Currently in the market for 2500 chevy or a gmc 2500. I love the color matched look! I agree that some can go overboard, but if done correctly, the "overboard" can look as good too. You sir, just gained a subscriber!

That new front end looks killer! I really enjoy watching your channel. Bonus, my wife likes your videos also!

Should go with factory black and chrome bowties. They would make it look clean. Thats what I did to my truck.

[@matt13ross]

That's a possibility I was considering.

[@loswald11]

Looks great! I’d match the center white and leave the outside edge chrome

[@Big.O.]

Came for the Porsche but love the truck. Definitely took it from looking like grandpa truck to cool. The wheels are growing on me. I’d like to see them without a stretch tire but it’s your truck you do you brother.

[@matt13ross]

Whenever it needs tires they will be bigger, I promise lol.

[@dswanson2010]

You were asking about the bow tie, I’d color match it but leave the chrome trim around it since that’s the look you’re going for.

[@dswanson2010]

But what you did to your truck is basically what I want to do to mine as far as the lift and tire set up

[@ryandempsey4186]

The color match looks good, but just can't get on board with the wheel/tire set up. Put some 40s on it and lift it and the wheels might look alright.

[@matt13ross]

I actually despise lift kits lol. Maybe a level at best. I'm not a huge mud tire kind of guy.

[@ryandempsey4186]

@Matt Ross yeah I feel you on that. I'm just saying that's the only way the stupid offset and width works. Is the truck had a level kit with 20x10 and some 35s it would look a million times better. All of your other trucks had been clean and decent wheel set ups. The brodozer wheels just don't fit with the clean look I'm used to seeing from. You

[@matt13ross]

Yea this is a totally different look than my off road trucks.

[@thelifeofjessejames]

It looks fantastic! I’m not a huge fan of the wheels still but it’s your truck not mine and you said you like them so that’s what matters

tasteful mods

[@bradwilliams5770]

So, the reason that mirror brackets in general, and tow mirror brackets specifically, are always black, is because they are functional, yet universally agreed upon as ugly. Therefore, the black color helps them disappear. That being said, I've never understood guys color matching them. Especially in a white truck. Seems like putting a neon sign in the shape of an arrow next to a tumour. 😂😂😂😂 The color matched grille on the other hand, not a tumah!

[@matt13ross]

I would say I agree if the mirror caps weren't chrome. All back = trying to hide it, but then there's the chrome. I like the color matching. I also like the black mirrors with color matched caps.

[@nathan_lbz9806]

I say black bow tie. I think if it were white, it would look like too much white. And current stock golden color is ugly. Also, some of the new trims have a black bow tie, so it would somewhat match newer trims. On another note, you should replace the fog lights to match the headlights. Currently curtains don't match the drapes.

[@matt13ross]

The issue is, there's not really any other black on the truck, so I'm not sure. I do want to upgrade the fogs now though!

[@nathan_lbz9806]

@@matt13ross I would argue that the black from the tires, tint, shadows within the front grill, and smoked lights is enough black to complement a black bow tie. Put some wrap on it just to see how it looks. I think you'd change your mind.
