I am on the fence. 2 factors playing in mind for me.. I have had both. I loved the shaved look. But After getting rear ended 2 times, it kinda put a dimmer on things. A bumper is alot more protection.. I opt to go back to a bumper, since I daily drive my truck. If it was a weekend warrior I would have prob kept the pan..
Looks great also, still a clean look, esp after I color match the plastics
The primer is still wet LOL. Just finished up the body work on the pan, not a month later, before paint, I was hit

if you can find any led tail lights that say they would work on a 99-07 sierra or silverado, they'll work on your truck

Im asking if they make led taillights that look just like my taillights. The same style for a better wording. I know 99-07 will work I just don't like the look of the 99-02 taillight. I like my style better. And I have seen a 2006 vortex max with aftermarket taillights in the 03-07 style.

so does anyone know if the plastic pieces on the tailgate's actually have screw holding them on or is it double sided tape like everything else. i guess i should specify this question towards the NBS trucks, i have an 02' seirra i'm wanting to take it off of but dont wanna take it off and have body work need done yet. im planning on shaving the tailgate handle along with this but would like to get some insight on this piece first. thanks in advance!
