Need some help deciding.

Element 80, you have good taste in wheels. If I had to choose between the chrome SS wheels or black American Racing RT-S wheels, I would pick the chrome SS's. The RT-S wheels are awesome but they won't look right unless you keep the fenderwells, chassis, and brake parts clean. Oh yeah, the SS wheels would look hot on your truck with a 2/4 drop!

Yep, I'm going to get a set of TYC clear headlights and corners. I'm not sure where I'll get the hood, maybe Stylin' Concepts.

Here's SleekSilverado's truck which makes me love the SS wheels, he has a 4/6 drop:

I'd hate to copy someone else, so I might get these wheels:

The pic isn't the best, cause they're chrome and American Racing Maxim
Here's what got me thinking about getting a chrome grille, I was bored and played around with Brandon's truck for an idea:

i think that looks awesome. a black tahoe grille shell,factory fogs, billet emblem and clear corners woulda finished it off. i like the blacked out look so i would do that and bet a big black rim with a fat chrome lip. thats just me though. do what you think looks good.

Thanks Stewart, I kinda liked the all black look for the bumper, but it was "blacker" than the rest of the truck. My bodyman, Tim Lane, told me it's due to the factory paint. They use a certain primer, that in sunlight, the black actually looks kinda brown. He said when he gets new parts like a cowl hood, they have different primers than the factory's and turns out true black. He said when he does my hood, he has to blend the fenders so you can't notice the difference in the two blacks. I might get a tahoe bumper cap and paint to match, IDK. I kinda like the textured cap, cause it seperates the two different blacks, where it's not noticable. I'm going to go over to R&R Supershine in Pearland and get the whole truck buffed out. That's after I remove the moldings.

Uh,...I don't know about the red bowtie? My bodyman was telling me about "smoking" the gold bowtie. Basically, it's the same process as smoking your taillights. He said they look pretty good smoked, cause the gold bowtie has a "starburst" look to it.
