Shaved or not shaved, that is the question
 

debating to shave my tailgate and put a rollpan on.. or keep it stock..

let me see some pictures..

heres a picture of mine, just took the badges off..

shaved handle and rollpan for sure.

unless the people where you live enjoy playing bumper cars, then just shave your tailgate handle and paint the plastics on your bumper.

also, take the moldings off the door and take that tailgate cap off too and have the little holes under it shaved and take those bed caps off

its a bed liner in my bed, im about to take it out after it snows today or tomorrow. and yeah i need to take the plastics off the doors.. where is a good place to get the relocator handle and a roll pan? also where can i get a 6 inch antenna?

I am on the fence. 2 factors playing in mind for me.. I have had both. I loved the shaved look. But After getting rear ended 2 times, it kinda put a dimmer on things. A bumper is alot more protection.. I opt to go back to a bumper, since I daily drive my truck. If it was a weekend warrior I would have prob kept the pan..

Looks great also, still a clean look, esp after I color match the plastics

The primer is still wet LOL. Just finished up the body work on the pan, not a month later, before paint, I was hit :bang:

mangled - your truck is pretty sick, i want mine to look like that but at the same time i dont want to get rearended.. so would it be a good idea if i was to keep the rollpan to put a hide-a-hitch to save my (azz) lol.. also do they make an aftermarket taillight for the 03-06 taillight? i know they do for the 99-02..

the 99-07 silverado and sierra tail lights are all interchangeable....but keep your stock tail lights IMO

Thanks. I thought about the hitch thing, but the corner of the bed is what kept getting FUBAR.. Not sure what your asking about the lights. I know they make LED lights..

Shave it.

Shave the handle and leave the bumper.


Its better protection so if you get rear ended.

Keep the bumper. Its a lot easier to have your frame get messed up without a bumper if you do get rear-ended
