Chevy Colorado Mods for Under $50 AND Is A Ceramic Coating Worth It?!

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

What do you guys think of the ceramic? Gotta wear 😎 when looking at it now! 👉 Black Colorado/Canyon Tie Downs - amzn.to/3jqkFvT 👉 OEM Bow Tie - bit.ly/2TU07Dd

[@RossMalagarie]

Yep thanks to your video on Expel film and ceramic coating I will get Expel pit on my 21' Canyon the get the same shop to put a coat of ceramic. Thanks 😎👍

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

Awesome! I'm glad I could help.

[@Belial69699]

Ordering a 2022 Chevy Colorado ZR2 in black, I'm assuming this black bow tie will fit on the 2022 ZR2 right?

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

Yes sir!

Your videos are awesome. I just got a Colorado WT and you’ve given me some great ideas!

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

I appreciate that! Let me know if you have any questions!

You have some pretty darn cool subs!!

Yes I sure do!

[@krasnaludek298]

Your videos are fabulous. My opinion of ceramic coating is that it’s one of those things that people can do themselves fairly easily. I’ve seen tests here on YT where over the counter ceramic waxes work just as well as the sealants that detailers charge $1K to apply. I’ve used Meguiar’s & Griot’s ceramics & both do their job in keeping acidic pollen & UV damage at minimum. Usually takes me about 2 hours to cover my Jeep or ZR2 and costs $125 worth of products (wash, clay, cleaner, polish, ceramic wax, finishing spray) instead of $500-$1,000. What’s the catch? I have to do applications about every 3 months, as opposed to sealants that last roughly one year. I’ll still take that trade-off.

[@robdfar]

When you get it professonally done it will last up to 9 years and it is a better protection then buying the spay on in stores

[@richardhertz8996]

My System X Ceramic coating is lifetime guaranteed. I never have to do anything but wash it for the life of the truck.

[@meanmachine19123]

Re: tie downs. The cable across, is that something you also got on Amazon? I was going to use bungee cords to hold one or two Rubbermaid containers and wondered if that would be a better option. Link if you have please (or where you got). Great video by the way!

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

Absolutely! Check them out here: amzn.to/3Yzvyja

[@LumiVisionFilms]

Hey Justin! Re: flow tie-- looks great but you have effectively removed it by going with black, IMHO. Since it's the only bowtie on the truck, I'm going to try red instead. THANK YOU for the removal instructions! Keep the great vids coming. Oh and did I miss your 3rd brake light solution? Fred

[@ffdar9119]

where did you get the red one? the link brings me to GM chrome one

[@LumiVisionFilms]

@@ffdar9119 I bought the chrome one and painted it “GM Red”. Auto parts stores typically carry it. I think it’s DupliColor BGM0938 bright red. Matches the tow hooks.

[@LumiVisionFilms]

@@ffdar9119 I can't upload a pic of the truck with the red bowtie but you can message me an e-mail if you want and I will send it to you.

I am from indonesia , and honestly I fall in love with that grill that really gorgeous , how can i get that grill , can you give me recomendation how to get that grill ,

[@chrisspreng7690]

Never had anything coated. Can’t say either way. Seems good for a show car. Not sure about average daily driver. Zr2 looks good. Going to pick up a set of the tie downs!

[@rowbear3130]

Love your videos, but I have a question. I am new to truck life and just bought a new 22 Colorado Z71 with off-road package two weeks. Wanting to do mods to it but how do you know what mods void the warranties?

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

Nothing here will void your warranty in total. If you put a spacer on your strut it will void any warranty that pertains specifically to the strut, and affected components, that's about it.

[@FrontSeatDriver]

Ceramic coating makes a huge difference in my opinion.

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

Agreed!

[@ShadMcNeil]

What do you think of ceramic on a white zr2? Would you get little chips in the paint sorted before doing the coating? It’s a 2018

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

If there’s any chips, I would definitely take care of it before getting a coating

[@nathanzech364]

Is the OEM grille bowtie you have linked a black one? Or will it be silver? It doesn't say on the site.

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

It’s silver. Needs to be painted.

[@nathanzech364]

@@HorsePowerObsessed Okay. Thanks.

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

You’re quite welcome!

[@MrRplo]

What is that you are using in the bed as a cargo separator? Looks like a solid bungee cord.

[@drewpackard6646]

Blacks a tuff color to keep looking good Justin!!

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

I agree if it's unprotected but with XPEL paint protection film and a ceramic coating, it's no harder than any other color I've owned.

[@RollerCoasterLineProductions]

Sharp truck man. Gonna kill ya when ya have to drive that sweet ass truck thru one of western Pas harsh winters. I’m not wild about the light bar, I’d want a cap or a tonneau cover on it but hey man, different strokes for different folks. Black/red is a killer combo

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

Thanks! I bought it specifically for off roading and the winter time here in pa so we'll see!

[@mschoenfuss5738]

Interesting. The black bow tie does NOT fit my 2022 ZR2. Wonder why?

[@johnglynn7795]

Hi Justin, appreciate the video. I must say that being a RED kind of guy you went to the DARK side with beautiful black!

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

Hey John! I'm loving every second of the dark side! 😈

[@abettercarport8006]

Do you have any suggestions for the lack if a grab bar in the driver side

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

Unfortunately, no. I was looking into possibly getting one from the Australian Colorado counterpart but I've been told it won't fit.

[@RossMalagarie]

HorsePower Obsessed check out BedRug classic bed liner. It's 3/4" plastic padding carpet for impact protection that covers the walls, bed, and tailgate. And you can put it on over a sprayed in or drop in bed liner. I love mine on my Canyon. And check out Leer HF650M quad hard folding tonneau cover. Works great 😎👍

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

Sweet! I'll check it out.

[@Darkhorse1190]

What head lights are you running on your ZR2? I don't see a link for them.

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

I am using the stock headlights with aftermarket LED's that are insanely bright! You can get them here: Low Beam: lddy.no/wsc6. High Beam: lddy.no/wsc7

[@frybreadhd3045]

Hey, do you have to wait for the coat to cure? Or is it ready to go and drive right out of the shop

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

Usually 24 hours to drive and ideally a few days before it sees water

[@FrontSeatDriver]

I was thinking the same about the flow tie. It sticks out like a sore thumb.

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

Yes sir! Not anymore, though 😁👍

[@richardhertz8996]

That whole grille is one of the ugliest damn things Chevy has ever designed. Chrome Bowtie, black Bowtie pink Bowtie, NOTHING can help that God Awful thing. Not a fan of those taillights either. The factory ones look 10 times better.

[@khwamtay6459]

Should put a Gator FX3 tonneau cover on it. Takes some modding with the sports bar but I get a lot of compliments with mine.

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

I have one from Rough Country that looks very similar to this and I really wanted it to work but I don't see how it could. What mods did you have to do to it to make it work? Shoot me an email if you can. I'd love to hear more. [e-mail].

Spyder square projector headlights next? (CO fans says they arent good lighting compared to stock) but look cool

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

That's the biggest reason I haven't done that yet because I'm not really sold on the quality.. 😕

[@SK-GT]

@@HorsePowerObsessed Right there with you. A guy on the forums had his OEMs baked and taken apart, then painted the inside black. Looked 1000% better. I plan to have a local shop do mine.

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

I'm looking to do that same thing. The stock stuff is just so much higher quality when it comes to the headlights. The tail lights on the other hand, may be better quality aftermarket. It makes no sense.

[@thelastdragon3242]

No winch bumper?

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

Not yet…

[@drewsgarageprojects5328]

Have you tried the tie downs yet? Do they hold pretty secure? Some reviews said the metal didn't cover a very big area on the back. Also - you must be driving some sales for them cause they raised the price and sold in 2 packs now!

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

What?! Seriously? That's crazy. I have used 4 different setups of them now and they have held a lot of weight. I don't see any issues with them.

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

You could also try grabbing these ones here. They are the same setup just silver instead of black bolts. amzn.to/3lQzlXT

[@lukejames1749]

How much cost for ceramic coating

[@RossMalagarie]

Go to Xpel.com site that is the protective film and ceramic coating he put on his truck and go "find installer" to find your closest shop then give them a call. For my 21' crew cab short bed Canyon my local shop quoted me $650 for a coating of ceramic.

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

With a paint correction it's around 1,200 I believe.

[@lukejames1749]

Get the tow mirrors

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

I'm not sure I like how big they look on the truck. We'll see, though.
