You guys are crazy, he ruined it! Bring back the bling!

Seriously though, it looks 1000x better. It's truly sad to see what some people will do to their trucks.

Yes, yes it did. I could get it off, but I'm pretty sure I will have to go through the clear coat to get it to come off. Did you even try?

Haha, ironically this was the truck my 79 year old grandfather left me. I think he'd be happy to see I added my own touches.

This was the truck that it replaced, a 95. Another truck that he gave me while in college. Loved em both, but this one sure does ride nicer.

Apparently someone likes the the chrome fender trim and kick panel covers. Where did you get the sierra side trim? I want to take the ugly chevy crap off and get the sierra stuff it looks alot better IMO.
