Nice! Looks great, amazing what a few subtle changes to these trucks will do. I used to have flashy wheels and big tires and pulled all that off. I missed the "stock look". A leveled ccsb on stock, or stock sized wheel with a meatier tire just looks "right".

What do you have planned next? Vent visor delete? Is that grille one that bolts in over the stock one? Or does it require your stock plastic to be cut out? I like how its more flush with the surround.

thank you! i am going to get different wheels and tires eventually, these were on the truck when i bought it so w hen the tires wear down the wheels are gone.

i would but its stuck onto the weather stripping unfortunately, might just buy new weather stripping, and it is a bolt over grill, this also came on the truck when i bought it, ill keep it for the time being but i want to swap the 05+ front end onto it eventually

Thats kind of what i figured on the grille part. I hate how they look over the stocker, but hate even more a deep recessed aftermarket one. ****ty previous owners do some weird things to trucks. Buddy of mine bought a ultra low mileage '02 cclb f350 in New Mexico....like 30k miles on it in 2009, old guy screwed those tie down hooks to the outside edge of the bed. WHY?! Mine was owned by an old man, but thankfully he didnt do a thing to it but drive it!

Oh and one last thing! Jjust say NO to black wheels....

why no to black wheels?

Because they are so damn played out. Everybody has them, and few people have them where it looks "right". They dont look good on two tone vehicles, and they dont look right if you have chrome on your vehicle. Monochromatic with black wheels is "ok", but unless you are ridding all the cbrome and painting the truck one color....youll have way too much going on, to look good. Chrome wheels would be mich classier/cleaner looking.
