Works for me.:)

Anyone put these logos on a Victory Red truck. What colors would you recommend? Was looking at black, white, silver, gold, and possible yellow. Have not decided on a combination. Streamline shows colors against a background of the vehicle but would be nice if you could see the decal against the color of your vehicle and play with the decal colors.

Have you painted or put decals/reflective tape on your cladding letters yet? If so, what color? If not, why not ;D

If you do the cladding letters, your mountain decal color choice should compliment those cladding letters. Similar to this: gold lettering and this Z71 decal.

I went with an Avalanche WBH. Cladding free in this case, although I was thinking about doing something with the letering on the tailgate.
 
Hmm. That makes for a more interesting dilemma. Gold and silver always look good on red. I'd be thinking either gold or silver mountains, black "Z" and white "71".

Jamie
 
Thanks for the input Jamie. I was thinking along your lines just opposite. Black mountains with Gold "Z" and either gold or white "71".

Appreciate it. It is pretty cool to find a site where people are willing to help...even with color decisions. Can't ask the wife cause she would just roll the eyes.

thanks again.

Anytime. I used to be in the same boat. She really likes this decal mod though as it brings in just enough color.

I just got done ordering the c-pillar mountain decals ;D. It was an easy choice: silver metallic because it matches the cladding and the Z71 decals. I can't wait to put them on. Too bad it will have to wait awhile because starting on Saturday, I will be out of town until June 11th :cautious:.
 
Has anyone here tried the pearl flash color

I have a DRK GRY Met. WBH and I am thinking that Pearl Flash Mtns with Red Z and white 71 would be the bomb....

then putting two color avalanche in on the pillars...

red avalanche and pearl flash mountains ....

Does anyone have pics of the Pearl flash??

Thanks

 
Since the Z71 and Z66 didn't apply to my Av, and the mountains alone looked so plain, I had to go with:

Man do people ask about my truck now.
 
Has anyone added these to a Sunset Orange AVI...any suggestions as to what colour combination would suit it best.
 
Openminds that SS logo looks great...What colors did you go with? I've been thinking of adding them to my AV myself but don't know what color combo to go with. (red AV) Anyone have any suggestions or have put them on theirs?
 
Hello all,

Very interested in doing this mod. I just picked up my dgm '03 av yesterday.

I was curious as to which color(s) mountain logo everybody with the dgm are using?

Thanks in advance for your input.
 
I've noticed that the last 3 posts in this thread are new members and are having a tough time getting replies.

First of all WELCOME to Cafcna....

You've got a great truck... I know you'll enjoy it!


On the color of the logos.... It is sooooooooooo much personal preference! I don't believe that you can go wrong with this great mod.

A couple of suggestions.

Do's
*Stay within the theme of your truck.
Choose how you want it to look and stick with that theme throughout and try to incorporate contrast.
On my blue AV, I went with a bright silver metallic. I knew I was going to put chrome on it and wanted to bring the bling out on it.
On the white AV, we used a dark grey stripe and lettering to match the cladding. I put GM assist steps on the side so it all blends in with conservative contrast. Just brings out the lines of the vehicle a little.

Dont's
Too busy is not appealing to the eye. Keep things simple..
Not to much of the same color... a blue stripe on a blue truck can't be seen. A silver stripe on a peuter or white truck gets lost.

Anyway... Probably too much opinion here....:p ;D but I do hope it helps a little. :0:

Again, welcome..... and HAPPY MODDING

I too see a lot people look at the back fender then discuss it. And look again. I guess trying to figure out what an "SS" Avalanche really is. ;D
This is the closest pic I have of the logo right now. :cautious:

If you e-mail or pm to Autotrimdesign or Streamlinedesign either will work with you on color combos for their decals. Just ask them. They both have a lot of threads info if you run a search of 'decals' on this board above. When I was doing your mod after buying the Av I sent an inquiry and called both. They sent me color e-mail responses specifice to my Av and request. They have scores of colors and designs and I found they just could not post them all. You will like the responsiveness from either of these supporters and they are Av customer friendly. Happy choice decisions. Welcome to CAFCNA y'all.

I went with a Black Z, White 71, & Dark Gray Moutains.
