^^ those would look good, dont ruin the stockers by painting them black!

The headlights you want will look great as is, but i would def paint your bowtie black. That will look great and tie it all in.

ruin stock rims by painting them? I won't do that. I want to keep the stock 17s for winter tires, but they will stay as is. So that's two for the black bowtie.

Headlights are ordered. If you place the minimum bid you can save $10. I could "buy it now" for $85.99 or place the starting bid of $76.99. I placed the bid and was the only bidder. I don't have to have them any time soon so waiting an extra day saved me 10 bucks. Came home this morning and got an email saying I won. I'll have pics up as soon as I get them on the truck. Thanks for all your opinions guys!!

I don't think you even had to paint your bowtie black personally. With the upper cap and lower valance on the bumper being black, and the grille around the crossbar being black I think the headlights would have probably looked fine. It's not like every single thing on your truck was solid white... you have aluminum wheels, the sideview mirrors are black with white caps, you have black vent visors... if your truck was solid white (everything colormatched) then I'd suggest getting a set of headlights on the cheap, pulling them apart and spraying the inside white to match the truck.

I think it'll be fine.

Damn, The bowtie is drying right now. . . . . . haha You make a good point though. I was always leaning towards painting it black though. I didnt mind it up close, but I didn't like how the white on white looked from far off. It's easy to paint so if I get tired of the black I can always go back to white. I took the vent visors off this morning but between the bumper, mirrors, and windows (fronts soon to be tinted) I think the black will look better.

Everyone is telling me to do black rims now though. I've always been against all black rims on anything but black trucks. I am torn between tahoe 20s and the rims I posted above in 18s. That's down the road though (no pun intended). I'll get some pics up as soon as the lights come. I thought they would be here this afternoon. I hope I don't have to wait until monday.
