Default 2008 EC Silverado Silver Birch

Hey guys, not new to the forums but i'm back in a truck so I thought i'd post up. It's a LT with black leather and 25.7k miles. Bought it from an older guy in Missouri City, TX. He was partially blind so there's nicks and scratches all over it but i'm fine with that. I'm real excited to have a truck again, I wish i'd never sold my '04 Sierra VHO. All I have so far is cell phone pictures but here ya go.





I have some quick questions if somebody doesn't mind answering.
-Are GMC tails and headlights interchangeable?
-What's the best CAI?
-Who's the best tuner?

Thanks!

The GMC lights won't fit the Chevy.

You need some more wires coming off your dash.

These are all IMO so take it with a grain of salt.

1.) No
2.) Techincally Volant, but if you modifiy the stock air box,add a K&N Filter and put an AIR Raid AIR Tube you'll get the same peformance for half the cost.
3.) Ooooo, touchy area here. Im going to go with ether Mike @ G-Force, Pat G out in Victoria or Wheatley since he exclusively tunes a **** ton of trucks. All of them are within 100$ so really whoever is closer.

BTW, Clean looking truck !!! First mods i'd do is Level it out with some shackles,Tint the front windows and Color match the Door handles/Mirrors. Good luck with your modding and realize were here to help along the way with whatever we can

Haha the wires, yeah well the left one is power for my cell phone and ipod, the other is for my radar detector, and the last one is aux for my ipod.

Thanks for the help bro's. I'm for sure getting tint but not sure about painting everything. I kind of like the stock look. That could easily change in the future though.

How would the ride compare to stock if I installed the lowering shackles to level it out?
