That truck is one sexy bitch. I love the black on black on black look. My next truck will be black. Do what the other guys said and level out the back and the looks will be DONE. (so then you can start dumping endless pay checks into the motor)

yeah black is hard to keep clean. my last truck was pewter so it looked just like dirt. Never had to wash it. Those were the good o'l days. I got a question. Do ya'll think my truck is too plain? Sometimes I think the all black is kind of boring any help would be much appreciated.

Looks EVIL. Very nicely done IMO.

Gotta ditch those black-crackle handles thoughs. Cleared headlights and Silverado tails might look good too...gotta get some of the latter myself.

Doesn't look too plain in my opinion.

What finish is that speed grille? Can you see any of the stock bars through it in any light or up close? Was thinking about getting one myself in the future but was concerned about that.

Yes you can see some of the bars in the light. The finish is brushed. I was planning on blacking out the whole front end. Powdercoating the bumper and painting the grill shell. But I couldn't find any black headlights. I've got a set for a silverado but I gave them to my bro since they wouldn't fit. I wish I could have just painted those factory rims but I wasn't sure how they would turn out so I bought a set and sold my other ones.
