your idea is right on track. I too am not a fan of the bolt overs, but the one you have linked actually looks good.

^^That looks real nice for a bolt-over.

I have a polished one on my truck and I hate it...my truck is a garage queen, too (hardly sees rain) and it still gets crappy somehow. And they're a PITA to polish.

i really like the black billets.... would look pretty sharp on your truck imo, esp if you end up doing some paint matching up front

I couldnt find any of the black billet ones on ebay, and I just cant bring myself to pay what some of the add-on sites want. I may buy an ebay one and paint.

Next week the truck is going to my buddies shop for alot of paint work. All black plastic will be smoothed and paint, SSS tailgate spoiler, grille will be totally black, hood repainted(damn bugs and rocks), bed liner, and the taillights and third brake like will be smoked along with fixing a couple scratches in the doors. By then my centercaps should be here and the truck should be looking pretty good.

It will be a while till I post pics, after I get that all done Im going to take it down to Houston and let KB full detail it, the paint needs some TLC, then another buddy of mine has a badass digital camera and is going to take some good pics of it then Ill post those. My clear headlights and turn signals should be here the end of this week so cosmetic stuff should be done shortly. I cant decide whether or not to get rid of the chrome step bars or not and get some amp research electric steps or not.
