An old body man gave me that info when I inquired about the same issue

Yeah I just ordered the chrome mirror caps and I'm waiting on NAPA to mix me up some paint so I can spray the mirrors.

Ditch the mud flaps, level the truck, new rims and tires. I would stay away from chrome caps, or chrome anything, except for wheels.

I went nuts at the car wash and just ******* blasted the 4X4 stickers and CHEVROLET decal off. Try a hair dryer too!

AKLowrider, I may be stopping by the store soon. Gotta get a quote on some wheels and tires.
