I would like to get some critique and some opinions on what should I do next on my truck, should I get SS mirrors or not, or maybe remove the molding from my truck or maybe paint my whole bumper and grille shell.? What would you guys do different?

I like the chrome bumper and grill, I am biased though. SS mirrors would be nice. Are yours already painted though? If so, I would just stick with them. A rollpan and dropping the rear a little would make the back look a little better.

I like the molding, but it would look good w/o it. Its hard to say, but between the wheels, handles, mirrors, and molding it might be a little much chrome on the side. Only other thing I can think of is a cowl or ram air hood.

btw, what kind of wheels are those? They look nice.

Yeah I already painted my mirrors but I kind of would like to get some that are more sporty like the ones with the led signals on the front, yeah sometimes I think I have too much chrome, my wheels are Centerline Dagger II. And removing the molding would be an option if I get the mirrors.

Yeah I agree the mirrors do kind of stick out a bit too much and probably the moldings but.

Thanks for the comments and compliments keep them comming guys.

I say get a roll pan and maybe lower it some and thats it.

IMO I think the GMC moldings look classy. and I think the factory mirrors look right with the ext cabs.

In this order:

1. Mirrors
2. Moldings
3. 2/4 Drop or 2" shackles
4. Roll Pan

Keep the stock mirrors with painted caps. remove the mouldings and paint the grill, front bumper and the rear bumper. A 2/4 drop wouldnt hurt. nice wheels. The chrome tailgate handle has to go, and shave the tailgate. Just my opinion.

The tailgate in my opinion should be left alone since the chrome handle accents the Escalade handles really well.
