Default What Do You Guys Think?

I just wanted to get some opinions from everyone about my truck. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions for power upgrades or appearance upgrades, I would like to hear them. Thanks!!

well i guess yellow is just as hard to hide as my red truck is!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />

i'd say to paint the gray part on the bumper that is not painted yet above the chrome.

umm..what else... ever thought about lowering it?
how about getting a flush-mount tonneau cover with a carpet kit for the bed?

how bout dressing up the interior with billett stuff. like the door sills.
take the regency sticker off the front window..
hey, why doesnt your steering wheel have the yellow on it like the rest or did i miss it in the pics? anyway, this is my opinion..
good luck!! <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

i agree with f150 killer. also i think you should take off the graphics on the side and the LS symbol. i think that you should get rid of that airaid and buy a K&N fipk. 99GMC has one for sale at a really good price. you should do the hotckis drop and get some 18's. also get rid of the pipes out the back. definetly dump the exhaust. for right now you have the looks, you just need the performance. just my opinions. truck does look good how it is though. kinda wishink i bought a yellow truck. did any of them come with a 5.3?

Looks good! I'd paint the upper bumper yellow to match also. Then maybe some different grill inserts?

I'm not going to tell you what to do with your truck, because to each his own. I like a clean truck, no graphics anywhere. On a steet truck, I really don't care if it's lowered or not as long as the wheels and tires fill up the wells and don't stick out the sides. I think a 2/4 drop looks really nice too. As far as exhaust, I have mine dumped only because I put a hitch on my truck and didn't feel like having the tailpipes redone. There are lots of mods to do. You allready have the AirRaid, just keep it for now and add other stuff to it, then when you have done a few mod, go back and change your intake. You can see my mods in my sig links.

Thnks everyone for your opinions

I painted the front valance myself and was pleased with the results so as soon I get some time I'm gonna paint the top of the bumper and some other things as well (door handles, tailgate handle).

The exhuast dumps were on my list of things to do as well as making it true duals with an x-pipe.

The reason I have not taken the graphics off the sides is because there is about 4 other yellow chevrolet/gmc's in town. Only two of them have the graphics so it makes mine more distingiuishing.

A 2/4 drop is also on my list of things to do. What setup would be the best way to go? Shackles? Leaf Springs? What brand? DJM? Belltech? I won't be towing much so thats not a real big concern.

f150-Killer,

I have only seen the GMC's come with the yellow steering wheel, although if i find one in a junkyard I'll be sure to take it. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Also, a Snugtop bed cover is my next purchase. I already have a color-matching spray in bedliner. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

Thanks again for the help guys, this site is VERY helpful! <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />
