I'm w/. charcoal03silvy & others, as I too prefer blue. I may have a slight bias.

Arrival Blue is my favorite, Granite Bkue right behind that. But to each his own! It looks good tho.

Nice, the white looks better, especially with those grey titan wheels. Were the door jambs and wheel wells painted white too? What about the engine compartment? It's always hard to paint an original dark colored vehicle with a lighter color because of all the nooks and crannies that can easily be missed.

You racist bastards! Hating on whitey! It's not that I don't like blue, just not dark blue. If it was arrival, it would still be that color!

Everything but the engine compartment. That will be done when I get the H/C 6.0, and 4L80 in there. Check out the Projects section, LOTS of pictures during the painting process.

Thanks Brandon, kinda knew you would like it! Yeh, I have the bumper, but I need to get it sent off to Silver-mod-o. I was supposed to ship it and the mirros to him, ohhhh, about 3 weeks ago, but I can't ever get time to get it anywhere before they are closed. Hopefully this week.

The only thing I would do is black out the part of your grille that is behind the speed grille. I followed your project and everything was done very well!

6.0, worked 317's, 25x duration-63x lift cam, 4L80 tranny w/ 3800 converter. Cam is boost friendly. Still want to go turbo at some point.

Thanks man. Yeh, I think it will just be cut out, and I am going to just bolt the insert straight to the surround. I don't like that part of the grill with the Speed grill, be it black or white or chrome. Cutting that out makes it look much better with the Speed grill.
