Default Giving the truck a slight face lift....

Well i have to replace the front bumper and lower air damn because i ran into my house pulling into the garage a few months back, don't ask, i know i am stupid....

Anyways i figured while i was at it, i might as well clean up a few things....

I was looking at replacing the headlights with these clear guys and adding some HIDs to the high and low beams....

I am kinda liking the LED clear corners.

So do these look cheesy?






Also i was thinking about powder coating the inner part of the grill black but leaving the surround chrome. Here is how it currently sits, the grill kinda looks black but it is polished.

So leave it or powder coat it???





next i am planning on adding a cowl hood!!! Like in this pic




I am kinda toying around with buying a SS bumper cover, but I don't know, i like my chrome....

I personally don't like the LED lights. I think it would look better with clear black lights.

Second options on the lights for sure with HIDs, and leave the bumper as is... I love the look of the 03-06 GMCs the way they came. Blacking out the grille will compliment the lights so go for it.

Cliffs: Second set of lights, no SS cover, black out grill insert...

I'm gonna go against the grain again and say no HIDs lol. Then again I've been soured by the whole HID thing a bit...
