Default Done for now.....maybe.

All done with the debadging, rebadging, buffing, lower valace painting, removing pin-stripes, removing door handle chrome rings.
Still not perfect but how does she look?

Yes I do...285/75r16s
Wish I could have found as wide of a tire with a little less side wall in a 16".
They do grip better than the stocks everywhere but I lost a slight amount of off-the line perf.

Shawn, I painted the lower valance with Krylon Fusion, cleaned it up good first. Anything was better than grey faded plastic. It did not come out too bad considering the small amount of prep time I spent.
Was thinking about having the grille's plastic color matched with the handles I bought from you when I get the cash saved up.

Any more suggestions besides lowering it to the ground?

Thanks guys.

Truck looks excellent! How about a Tahoe grille and 2003+ tailights? I used Krylon Fusion on my lower valance too. I painted it about a year ago and it still looks good.
