1sik02 Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 well, lots of things changed, back to stock height, i know have a painted to match stock gate(sold shaved gate), and a rear bumper as well with painted plastics. this past weekend i took off my billet grille and sanded it down, grabbed some black paint i had laying around, sprayed it, cleared it, and just installed it. Then here was the fun part, i started sanding the chrome front bumper, and painted it to match as well. and i should of done it years ago. only other thing i want is an hd hood again, as i sold the blue one i had, i will be painting the rear chrome this weekend as well, and have bought some white bulbs to replace the blue ones that i have in there now (change up the look i guess). underhood front as it will be til i get hd hood rear went through lots of different front combos, but here was the before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1sik02 Posted January 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 (edited) side note, after seeing how shitty this aftermarket grille looked, i am having my oem grille painted to match and am gonna throw away this aftermarket grille, the bowtie fits like crap, and i am having my silverado upper cap repainted as well, as the one on my truck is from a tahoe and has a slight crack in middle, and a woman backed into the passenger side on top of bumper pad. and it didnt fit flush, so ill have a fresh oem grille and my silverado cap painted soon as well.

ThatTallCanadian Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Do those blue ones light up amber or blueish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcmahan Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 was wandering what was going on with ya havent seen you around. got a good color Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1sik02 Posted January 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 thanks, actuallt they light up like a blueish/white well, got the rear end completed already. cleans up very nicely, just dont like how you can see that little dent more since its no longer chrome.. will need to get some pics of it cleaned up, and i changed out the blue bulbs as well to some white sylvanias. after looking at the front end pics, and knowing i have the aftermarket not oem painted grille, i am having a frined paint my oem one and also a pianted top pad as well, as mine was backed into the day after i put it on, so that way the front end is fresh and the bowtie fills the oem grille better. here we go: had the blue bulbs the front with now with new white bulbs the rear with no more chrome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
