Default Finally got some pics of debadged, new lights, and a little colormatching

Well I finished debadging the truck, and painted the grille, and got my new headlights in. The bedliner is in and i took the vent visors off. Sorry if it's not clean enough for pt standards.

As far as appearance goes, I'm going to do Tahoe handles, tint the front 2 windows 20%, billet grille, black bull bar and two lights and I'm done. The tint and grille should be coming fairly soon.

Let me know what you think, I know it's not much but you have to start somewhere.

Pics are kinda tty, but good enough for who it's for.

Here is what I started with about a month and a half ago, just for point of reference.


And here is what I'm up to now. . .





new gauges




Puttin her to work. Had to unload all the goose decoys to use it though.

Yea the black ones drive me nuts, every time I see a white denali or tahoe I just stare at the handles. I thought about painting the ones I have now just to see how they would turn out until I get tahoe handles. I painted the bezel & tailgate handle and it turned out good.

I have thought about it, I think I'm going to wait until i get wheels & tires. I get tired of having the convo,
"dude trust me it's 4x4." -me-
"Well you don't have the sticker" -random idiot-
"yea but I have the transfer case to prove it." -me-

haha for sure. Cracks me up that people tried to tell me my last truck was 2wd because I had the stickers off for awhile, even though not only did I own it but who puts a torsion crank and mud tires on a 2wd truck. some people's kids I guess. lol

just colormatch those handles, sand them down real good, and theres a special primer for plastic and paint over it thats how they do it here in texas and after u colormatch the handles colormatch the front bumper plastic and it will look KILLER
