Not as nice as some, but nice enough for me...

Basically, I bought a poor man's Silverado SS, but have the option of 2wd or 4wd with a push of a button, lol.
Love your rims BTW. I'd like to get something like those for mine eventually. I'm betting they'd look badass on a black truck.

I used to wonder the same thing, Lisa...then I realized it's just personal preference. I suspect lots of people see my truck and think to themselves, "I wonder why that old turd has replaced all the black vinyl trim with shiny stuff and still keeps those stupid mudflaps on?" The simple answer is: they help to keep the shiny stuff shiny and I know how crappy the paint would look where the flaps cover it now.

Like trev said, I would start with debadging it, color matched handles. Billet grill. Farley cheap/easy to do, will make a world of difference...

Can't speak for anyone else, but the limited snowfall we get here in Baltimore would hardly ever require a lifted truck, just some traction every now and again. My old 2wd 97 Silverado was worthless in any accumulated snow, which is why I chose a Z71 equipped truck for the replacement. I'd only lower mine for the "look", since I know it'll never see "off road" as in hill climbing, mud bogging, etc...
