Default SS cladding without SS front bumper

I was wondering what a truck would look like with the stock front bumper colormatched 06 bumper and grille (minus lower valance) and ss body cladding and ss rear bumper. if anybody got some pics it would be nice to see. I know the ss rear bumper looks shitty without the cladding.

I'll see if I can dig one up. I remember seeing one posted recently somewhere, but I will say it looks pretty horrible. The cladding sticks out significantly past the stock bumper.

Why not do the BSER rollpan with the cladding.... thats what I did with my SSS.

i guess i should have made my self a little clearer, i would go with the full body cladding, including the rear bumper, but want a stock bumper up front, fully colormatched(minus lower valence) 06 victory red.

edit: I know for sure the rear bumper has to be ss with cladding, they do look horrible.

I figured thats want u wanted to know.

I dont think it would look as bad with out the SS front cover, but why wouldn't you do everything all at once. If your going to spend money on colormatch the front bumper might as well just get the SS cover .

i can paint my own stuff, plus i had the ss bumper on another truck and wanted something a lil different. the only reason I want the ss cladding is how much lower it makes the truck look.

I still think it would look kind of odd. The front SS bumper is wider, bulkier looking that stock so with the added width of the cladding you almost need it to complete the look. I don't think it would be REALLY noticeable, but to anyone who knew what they were looking for it'd stand out.
