    I believe they have the same suspension so it should be the same height.

    Air damn doesn't really bother me but I'm still thinking it over ATM. I might just to see if it actually effects mpg and looks down the road.

    Haven't justified anything. People wanted to see stuff done to the 16. Did you mean another word besides justification maybe?

    Snap a few pics if you do end up taking it off, and let us know how the removal went. I'm curious of it's just a couple of screws as they claim. If you're a 75mph highway driver I would likely leave it on as well though. I like what you've done so far, looks good brother.

    According to the specs, all of the 2016's are the same overall height.

    No I just taped it off with painters taper and newspapers. I recommend leaving a couple inches border around the emblem and doing a good 5-6 sprays. The thicker it is the easier is is to remove around the emblem itself. Same for the tires if you don't tape the tire off make sure to get a good layer on the tire itself so that it comes off in one piece.

    Hey, great post!I am getting a super white DCSB next week in Houston as well. I will have the appearance package and predator bars and black interior (which i was told is a rare thing in this allocation). There was only two with the appearance package in white, with black interior coming our way.
    Anyway, I plan on getting my windows tinted outside of the dealer as well. Where did you get yours done? Also, I thought about getting aftermarket wheels that are black, but your plastidip solution look pretty good! What platidip products did you use? I am new to doing that , so any info would be awesome!

    Overall though, great job! I am more excited to get my truck

    Does the front emblem snap off as easily as the 15 's. Have you debadged it completely. I really like the looks of this color will everything removes. Just a little nylon string and 3m adhesive remover. I used fishing line for a couple badges and found regular nylon string worked much easier. and removed more glue.

    I didn't remove any of the emblems. Sprayed them right on the truck. Just taped around it. So I can't answer if the emblems come off easily.

    I would assume the badges are taped on the same way as every other vehicle. Not much need to remove them if you're only derping them.

    Plastidip bought it at lowes. Used 3 cans. 6 bucks a can. image.jpg
    Purchased this can spray adapter at Home Depot for 3 bucks to save my fingers. image.jpg
    Here's a link for you tube all about plastidip uses and shows you what to do for wheels. I just followed there lead and used windex and elbow grease to clean the rims before spraying.

    They do. But they don't give you much for them. You can sell them yourself if you want. But I usually don't handle with that.
