How about some 03+ rear tails, they really clean up the back of the truck IMO. Actually, I think the 04+ has the darker/black looking trim around the edge (pretty sure that mine are 05's)



And maybe some Esky door handles and some form of custom grille (billet or speed grille?)

Yes I want to do the painted door handle buckets and the chrome handles, where can I get these from? I also plan on the 03+ tail lights!

I have a set of those handles on order from GMPartsDirect.com, they're actually a belated birthday gift from my mom I'll let you know the part number and how they look when I get them. Your truck is black right? Should be the same part number as mine. I got my tails on ebay for about $90-$100 shipped IIRC, then I got the sub harnesses from a dealership connection for like $12 each (the newer tails have an extra bulb than the 99-02's) There's a few options for the extra bulb, tap into your existing harness, don't wire it at all, etc, but installing the new harnesses seemed the cleanest route and they were cheap enough.

I would throw on an HD hood and a set of 03+ taillights, side window tint and some new wheels. Like someone stated you can defenitly tell that the shackles are on. Looks good.
