If your going to color match your handles, go ahead and live dangerous and pull the chrome side molding off. I like sport mirrors too just my .02

Thanks for the posts. I'm keeping the stock color, de-badge, paint to match lower valence, mirrors, door handles, tail gate, already bought a cowl hood, and no more pinstripe. I'll post some pics when it is done.

a two tone paint job would be nice, the top blue and silver/pewter on the bottown from like the door handle and under? either way a new paint job will look good, but I would definately change to an 03+ front end.... it makes it stand out alot!

Looking for an 03+ front end on the classifieds. Two tone upgrade would be nice but I'm spending the money on hood, and possibly the front end.

I think that's what you should do too. Maybe make the color a little lighter, brighter. Make it stand out a little more from the others! Either way, it will look good!
