The Chevy Silverado is a classic American truck with a cult like following. The Silverado is known for its durability and long life and is a common sight on American highways. Some owners seek a way to distinguish their vehicle from the rest. Customizing your Chevy Silverado will add your personality to it as well as show your pride of ownership.
Lifting your Silverado adds a customized look and also improves its off road capability. A Silverado can be lifted with a body or suspension lift. This allows for larger, more aggressive off road tires. Lift kits are available for purchase from auto parts stores, ads in off road enthusiast magazines and online retailers. Many auto service centers and auto accessories shops will install a lift kit for a moderate fee.
There are a lot of aftermarket performance accessories to customize your Silverado. Bolt-on products are ideal for most consumers, as they require little automotive training or tools. These include performance computer programs, air filter kits, performance spark plugs and bolt-on exhaust systems. An exhaust system can give a customized look by having dual and chrome exhaust tips as well as providing a loud, high performance sound. More extreme customizations include performance exhaust headers, superchargers and intake manifolds, all of which will lead to a dramatic increase in horsepower.
An aftermarket stereo system will add a customized sound to your Chevy Silverado. Big box electronic stores, mail order outlets and custom stereo shops sell a variety of stereos, speakers and amplifiers that can fit a Silverado without any modifications. The Silverado standard door and rear speakers can be swapped for higher quality replacements and a rear seat subwoofer will add loud bass. Other customizations include head rest and headliner mounted LCD TVs and in-dash DVD players.
Changes to the exterior of your Silverado will be the most noticeable customizations. Window decals such as stickers and full window decals add a custom element to your truck. These can include wildlife scenes, camouflage, names or favorite products. Body customization ideas include wheel flares, side steps, custom bumper, bed topper and bed cap. For a more customized look an aftermarket paint job will allow you the freedom of designing a paint scheme and colors that will set your Silverado apart from the rest.
