🙋‍♂️ What Did You Do To Your Lightning Today?

Installed a LOMAX trifold. Thanks Truck Alterations for discount!

I also installed OCDPlug B pillar gloss black PPF to address the swirl marks.

After paying $80 and installing it, not sure it was worth it. Swirl marks weren't THAT noticeable. The fit was not great with some overhand of the film past the pillar and a bit short. I got suckered into protecting my new truck, but gotta remember it's gonna get beat up from road debris soon enough.

2022 Lariat ER, just got her Sunday. So far we’ve got some badging and a stubby antenna. Windows get tinted in the morning. The question is do I keep the bolt or not?

There are times when I kind of wish I kept the MachE. I love this truck, best vehicle I've ever had, but it's got a horrible turning radius, and it can sometimes be hard to find an appropriately sized open parking spot. Bolt is a great secondary car for those situations where a truck is not optimal.

Ha! I should have been more clear. While I do also own a Bolt EUV the question was about the lightning bolt graphic on passenger side

you are spot on in your assessment of the vehicles. The bolt is our around town car and the Lightning is our family hauler and get it done truck. They complement each other perfectly.

Ditch it. It looks cheesy AF.

Now, since she's white a nice lightning blue pinstripe down the side that incorporates a bolt of lightning would look primo if done right.

I tend to agree it’s a bit much with the other lettering done. I like the pin stripe idea! Thanks!

Congrats on your new Lightning! I think the bolt adds character. Keep it

I found a new set "take off" Larriat leather seats covers on Ebay for $137 and I have started installing them in my XLT. Since the XLT doesn't have a rear middle seat arm rest, I'm going to sew in a piece of leather from the armrest to the seat back to make a flat panel to match the seat.

Going to drive it, lol.

Thinking of putting in Lamb seat covers but the price is high. $1,600 for complete set. Still pondering the purchase.

Not today, but a couple weeks ago I bought some mirror covers and door handle covers from americantrucks.com and had a local body shop paint them AMB. Spent about $300 total, well worth it I think.

Never seen mirror covers. I wonder how noticeable their gloss black would be compared to agate black metallic

Installed a Bakflip MX4 and replaced the antenna with a 1/4-20 x 3/4 bolt I had lying around. Painted the bolt black, so it blends in. I don't use AM/FM, so the antenna delete won't be an issue. I'll carry the original antenna under the back seat in case I need to pop it on for a roof check in a low clearance area.

EDIT1: Here is a pic of the antenna delete.
EDIT2: I later 3d printed a plastic (PETG) cap that fits on top making it look better. I used some of the black sparkle prusament filament I already had which blends in nicely with the plastic molding around the antenna. I just pushed it on and it has stayed for a few weeks even with highway 80+ mph speeds. If weather makes it look bad over time then I'll just print up a new one and replace it. Here is a link to the 3d print I used - Cap for 1/4-20 HH Bolt by Bob D. | Download free STL model | Printables.com

Love the pop of color. Your Lightning is very sharp.

Ok cool, hope to have mine next week. Thank you.

I believe they stopped including the net at some point. It did not come with my 2023
