Most people don't like the wheels on my truck. I really like the design, but they need to be cleaned up. Everyone says I need center caps, but I like the tuner-ish exposed lugnuts.

Here is a picture for a refresher

To each their own. I drive my truck, and I set it up how I like and don't give a rat's poop what anyone else thinks. I will tell someone I think they should have done something different, but only to people that tell me the same thing. Opinions can be shared all in fun, and with respect!

im nervous it wont match since this color alone changes from different angles, and the way the sun is shining
Just post up shop name in title like Bill did so we can easily find it.

Cool u got it back/ like it.
Grille surround doesn't do it for me either. Buy another chrome 1 & redo it. I don't know how to explain it, it looks too bold. Does that make sense?

I really like that 100% happy mentality - Those that stand behind they're work.
Looks good. Oh ya, why didn't u shave that **** off roof?

the antennae for XM and my OnStar? No, although it would really look better (and be more aerodynamic ) it is functional.

My feelings on the surround are that it gives the truck a unique custom look to an otherwise stock looking ride. Yes, I need to do a few more things to get it to 'fit' with the rest of the front end but one step at a time, ehh?

I knew OnStar was the 1.
XM - I couldn't remember what that 2nd was for. Oh ya. I wish OEM's could integrate it somewhere for a cleaner look. It ruins the flow.
Or they (OEMs) make it more subtle.

Stock lookin? Cowl hood, different mirrors/ wheels. Welded rollpan. Body color tailgate protector.

Ehh? I thought CA stood for California NOT Canada.
