An SS tailgate cap/spoiler would look badass on your truck man. Its like what I've got on mine.





Only downside to the painted cap is that if you use your truck like a truck, you have to watch scratching the paint on it. I almost messed mine up with a pressure washer I was bringing home from my parents.


Oh, and I agree with the mirrors, not a fan of the painted stockers, but the street scene mirrors painted look damn nice.

Yeah, I like the spoiler cap and handle, I might just go that route. I have color matched door handles already.
I got a couple of dings that my Comprehensive insurance is going to cover for me and I thought I'd have my painter go at it while he's there but maybe I'll just have him weld in and fill my roll pan instead.
Where should I buy the spoiler and tailgate handle?

Silver Birch, yep.
Not sure how much I'll be able to have him do for the $ I'll have.
Just go gm parts direct?

ya, i didnt wanna post it though cause i wasnt sure if it was one of our sponsors or not

as far as the bezel goes id go in the part # thread and ask for a silver birch ss tailgate bezel + handle part #, i looked and couldnt find anyhting on them but im pretty sure ss bezels and handles are painted and i know they made ss in silver birch (also verify the SS spoiler to cause for soem reason wen you go to gmpartsdirect it lists it as a molding... i dunno wat thats all about)

Part # Thread

I felt the same way so I had my stockers painted by a buddy who has his own paint shop. Turned out damn good!

I got my painted tailgate bezel and lever off of ebay relatively cheap, color was already molded into it.

As for the SS tailgate cap, used to have a friend that worked in a GM dealer parts dept. He sold it to me for 100 even. I've seen them on GM parts direct or jp customs for around 110-125 I think. These will come just black ready for paint with the double sided tape already in place.

I think you should really try and swing getting the tailgate handle flipped just think how clean the *** end will be with the roll pan molded and no handle with the SSS tailgate spoiler. It would look AWESOME, I would do it but I carry too much **** in the bed of my truck.
