Default ideas needed

I just want some ideas on what could be done to this truck to make it a little more... stylish i guess. the first things i was thinking of is to remove door protectors and vent visors. maybe the step rails too, this is exactly how i got the truck years ago, except for the turbo of course ... i want it to stay a sleeper, just looking for yalls ideas. it has a three inch lift/leveling kit on it now. pictures of other pewter trucks are welcome!!

Color match mirrors, handles or esky handles. Match the top bumper cover. Keep the vent/visors but try to add as set that goes in the channel rather then on the out side. Do away with the back ones. Keep the side moldings and away with the step bars. Maybe a late model set of silvy 17-18 wheels, white letters in. That will keep it stockish, clean looking

Color match or black out the front bow tie, also paint the grille webbing black. Here's how mine turned out, I did the center bar as well and am digging it. Name:  DSC00032.jpg
