I have a 2021 White AT4 with the 3.0 Duramax. It’s so sweet, not much under the hood yet out there. Current mods done to exterior: de-badged just to buff, polish, ceramic coat and seal (used all Chemical Guys Ceramic package). I then added black GMC front and rear emblems back on (outline is a gloss and letter fillers were a matte black), found black Stars and Stripes AT4 emblems back for the doors and tailgate. Also swapped out the fender Duramax inlays for black flag Duramax ones also. Took off and powder coated the exhaust tips gloss black. 5% ceramic tint and 50% front windshield. Just dropped truck off to get factory 20” wheels powder coated satin black. On order is the AFE hot/cold charge pipe kits and S&B CAI. Also added the wire kits for the auto start/stop deactivation. Fog lights all on with regular lights. The third brake lights coke on when unlocking and in reverse. Painted calipers red with G2 caliper paint also.

Future mods will include: Banks products with iDash dual gauge setup. Will add the Deringer (once released this summer) their throttle control device connected to the gauges. Stuck on which leveling kit I want to order. Not going with spacers or anything. It will be either Bilstein 6112’s with either 5100 or 5160 rears. Or Fox coils and bypass valves with UCA’s. Want to improve the ride quality for on/off road. Going to run Bora 1.5” spacer till I need new tires to get a better aggressive stance. Then I’ll take those off and sell with the factory wheels I’m getting powder coated and add a wheel with enough backspace and offset to clear with the right coil over leveling kit for minimal trimming for a full true 33” Tera Grappler or something. Also looking to swap out the factory shallow depth running boards.

That’s all folks. I’ll add some pics of the badges etc and try to get more at night with the lights for those wire mods etc.

Very nice!!
 

Duramax badge with flag. We’re you able to buy replacement or create it yourself? Good looking truck
Bought here. You just heat up and remove original and clean adhesive off then apply the new badge. Here is the link and they have several options. Thanks. Work in progress.

How easy were the fender emblems to install and remove the factory?

How was the replacement front emblem to install and removal of the factory?

Pretty simple. Heat gun to carefully heat up the adhesive behind the inlay. Then use like a plastic trim tool to pry a corner. Then keep heating as you pull. 3M adhesive spray removal works good and I use plastic razor blades to remove all remaining adhesive. Then prep with alcohol and wipe, then slap on new ones. I posted in previous thread the sight where I got them from.
The front was a different story have to removed the grille and all kinds of shit. Since I thought that was BS, I just busted out the red inserts to access the black clip on portions. Then used combination of angled needle nose pliers, reaching in from all angles around the grille and from the inside of the hood too (removed the plastic trim piece under the latch. Then long needle nose to pinch the clips and pulled out. The new nes just snap in with some pressure to hear audible click. The top one of the C and G were a little tough. Basically used long chisel on the posts on the backs of the letters and made it fit. If you do it, you’ll see what im talking about and it will make perfect sense.
Hope this helps you out.

How big of a deal was it to paint your brake calibers? Where did you get the paint & how expensive was it.
