Re: What are yall's first appearance mods???
Brandon asked what kind of clears I have. They are APC brand. The fronts look just like the ones Oxidizr has above. The rears are all clear with mold marks around each bulb chamber, I painted around the mold marks. I think I got them from Jegs, but can't find them there or at American Products Company(APC)website. The third brake cover is from V-Tech http://www.v-techcovers.com/images/prods/74050.jpg bought at Summit. I have also found Jam Strait LEDs to put in them APC LEDs blow our fuses.

Very first thing I did was I took all of the body moldings off and all of the big plastic emblems. Only thing that is left is the Z71 stickers on the back of the bed.
Cheap, easy and it cleans it up quite a bit.
I'll probably do some grill stuff, paint the mirrors, door handles, and the top plastic part of the front bumper next.

Re: What are yall's first appearance mods???
As for appearance mods, I started by removing all of the cab/tailgate emblems and side moldings. I added Escalade handles inside/outside, a billet grille, and I paint matched all of the plastic on the bumper. Some StreetScene mirrors wouldn't hurt either. Just to give you a few more ideas of what you can do.
I have a 4/6 DJM drop and I don't have any trouble bottoming out except on speedbumps. Maybe the roads in FL are just better than everywhere else! LOL

Clear tail lights can't be found anymore. Closest thing was in ACME discount parts & accessories catalog volume T2701 page 44. APC brand with red reflector at bottom instead of clear like I have to get catalog go to www.acmetruckparts.com APC don't have this one on their site either. Glad I got mine in 2000.

All my appereance mods have also been somewhat functional. My first was tint then rims/tires then the 2/4 drop. I am planning on getting my grill, bumpercap, and door handles colormatched and getting a grill insert in the future.

richard,
did you paint yur stock grille insert black or just leave it off? it actually looks pretty good with nothing in there. and you never answered us. did you just tape off the chrome strip of did you remove it? when my friend did his he just taped it off cuz it looked like removing it would have required breaking it.
