01 Sierra exterior ideas...
Its an 01 GMC Sierra ECSB Z71. It is the two tone, black and beige apparently rare. Either way, Im sorta bored
of the exterior after three friends with dropped Sierra and Silverado, and a hella clean silverado Z71.
So heres a pic... What should I do..?
I wanted to paint the grille black, but its two tone it might look stupid...
Aftermarket headlights?
Need to do something different with the fogs, my first idea looks retarted to me.
Comments, ideas appreciated.

Get rid of the beige.... I don't know if the grill would look right blacked out with the beige. If it was my truck I'd get rid of the after market fog lights. Just get some brighter bulbs for your stock fog lights

After looking at it some more I think if you got rid of the Fender Flares and painted your entire front bumper and valance ( or a nice simple bumper cover ) beige than your grill might not look bad painted black to match the truck with a black billet grill

Well to be honest I do not have the funds to paint over the beige right now. I do have a paint gun and paint stall to paint machine tools in but I know it would not turn out right trying to match the other black. However, that is down the road.
As for the flares, everyone I have talked to has said keep them because that was an original idea of mine taking off the flares. I would love a billet grille with blacked out chrome grille but I have to keep my GMC logo. Its just a pet peeve of mine.
And yes, I know I need to do something with the fogs. The stock ones are alright... just dont put out any light at all. I live in South GA, neck *** country roads so I need all the light I can get. I just put the ghetto HID bulbs in for 15 bucks (I figured I cant go wrong for that) so I have good lighting from the headlights not the fogs.
I do have an offer that I trade my valence for a non fog light valence, I get a real PIAA HID kit and a sub,box, and amp to fit under my rear seat. So I have been debating that and just getting some fogs to fit inside the opening...
I also have been wanting the black projector style headlights... Anyone do any photoshop work?
And lifting it? Prob not. I might... put a 1-2 inch body lift on it one day. Or 2500 Suspension to give it like 2 inches of lift. I have had big trucks... and I dont want to lift this one so big. Thats what my toyota is for.
