Default Stripping a Rengency Rst

Hi everyone , I just bought a 2004 Black Rst an i was wandering if any one has ever Converted the outside back to look like an original Silverado ? I bought it for the interior and 4.8/ 5 speed combo not really for the looks. So i wanted to remove the roll pan and replace it with an OE bumper , Take off the wing Ect Ect... Is it just a remove and replace job or is all the hardware missing ? It does not have the original Foose wheels but some other Black/Chrome 20" so i wanted to go ahead and put factory 17" on and ditch the big rotors . I know it seems silly but i got a great deal on the truck so i just took it . I Would be Greatful for any help

Thanx Andrew

The striping is just vinyl, it can just be peeled off. The rear bumper bolts on, just unbolt and bolt on a factory bumper.

I would go with an oversize factory wheel just to retain the oversized brakes; otherwise, I like your style

Trust me guys if I didn't have to daily drive it I would just leave it be , but it draws way to much attention. I dont want the brakes do to replace cost , plus I prefer bigger tires smaller rims . I bought it cuz it was an 04 one owner with 33k miles I know its rare so forgive me for what im doing guys .

Replacement cost on brakes should be of no worry, Ive only installed one set on my 04 with over 280K miles.
