Default New suggestions or ideas..










Okay.. here are a few quick pics i took so dont beat me up to bad.. Looking for some ideas to help clean the truck up a little.. Let me know what you think.. But before the opinions come ill give you my thoughts on it.. The z71 decals and going to come off.. Thinking possibly of painting the lower air dam on the front bumper to match the caps. Have a cowl hood that is being painted as we speak. Let me know your opinions but 1st.. My truck is a 4x4.. i dont want to lift it and dont want to slam it. I actually have a real hotrod that i tow to the track. This is my DD and gets my trailor queen to the track. I also have kids. So the stepbars need to stay to make it easier for them to get in and out. With that hit me with the rest.. Thanks in advance

Nice truck you have there. I'd get the cowl hood on there, and also paint the lower front bumper valence. While you're at it, get that bowtie painted white. I don't think I'd do much more than that.

I thought about color matching the bowtie and mirror caps.. but was on the bubble..

What does everyone do if anything about the holes in the bumper from the front plate?

I'd leave the mirror caps chrome. You have the chrome steps, wheels, bumpers......it all comes together nicely like that. Leave the holes in the bumper alone, and get some factory fog lamps installed. I just noticed you don't have them.

Once you take off the stickers, add the hood, have the stuff color matched it will be super clean. Def do the mirrors. You are on the rite track already. Only thing I am not a huge fan of is them tires.. Don't get me wrong it is nice looking now..

You could order a new valence I guess, but the fog lamp block-offs can be removed.

Tint the tails if you like. I'm not a fan of the 'stormtrooper' black & white look myself, but that's just me.
