I stripped mine back to stock because the upgrades were mostly all crappy parts. Powdercoated the wheels black because The chrome was junk, upgraded to two piece baer front rotors, ceramic pads, removed the fog lights because the wiring was crappy and non-oem but replaced them with oem fog lights. I took the wing off to shave my tail gate and removed the front stripes for an escalade front end. I got new front stripes, I just need stripes made for my tailgate. I love my interior tho, just plan on upgrading to a complete center console.

Things to keep in mind.
-Regency trucks use replacement caliper brackets so you need oem caliper brackets if you buy stock rotors.
-chrome wheels with semi-metallic brake pads seems to always be a bad idea.
-the wing is on your tailgate with some serious body adhesive and it is nearly impossible to get off in one piece. I would see if somebody would trade tailgate, brakes, and wheels with you in one shot.

them seats are sexy.

I like the front bumper lower valance piece. I hate how the factory one has dimples and holes and ****. 18's may fit with them brakes hard to tell. I did the z06 upgrade on mine and 20's are the smallest on the front i can run.

18s will clear Z06 brakes with the right offsets

I got my 1st 04 stolen ( caught the c$&K suckers a few weeks later ) got my 2nd one from SOuth Carolina also 04 , gave it some ***** to match the look and use it everyday I tow my trailer with project cars, fill it up at Home Depot with what ever its a truck and serves its purpose, I live in So cal every one is trying to get one by any method other than buying one. But i wouldn't stripp it just to keep them away. So If you want I get you a clean stock 04 rcsb and we can do an even trade..
Now if your trying to keep it low because you up to no good get your self a 1990s ford escort with a baby seat and some Taco Bell wrappers and pretend your a struggling student with a baby!!!! Lol

I run the 18" Z71 rims on my RST. With the 14" Bear Rotors on the front and have no problems clearing.
I am gonna have my 20" RST rims powder coated black soon due to the chrome is pitted pretty bad.
