Cat eyes, and front end swaps

[camaroz1985]

I think it only looks good with the HD grill color matched, otherwise there’s no reason not to use the 01-02 HD grill/bumper, IMO

My current pondering is if I could cobble together the bumper, color matched, grill color matched, and bumper lights, with standard top lights, and standard hood.

Maybe too much fabrication, but I’m gonna head to a pick-n-pull and take a look.

Don't think that will work or look good. Bumper lights are squared off and upper lights would be round, fenders would look odd and require a lot of fabrication. It would all be kind of weird as the lights wouldn't match the shape of the grill either.

I like the murdered look more than average. This one to me is how it should look for an off-road SUV. The color matched grill looks better on a lowered street truck. I don't usually like the cowl hoods, but for some reason, when I see this one, I think it looks better with a big cowl hood on it.


You know they do make aftermarket 1 piece headlights

wow those are awful

 

[jarydM]

Yeah, I liked it specifically because the grill made it look more like the new Tahoe, and especially the RST

The design looks 95+% the same, but the new one looks good, and the NBS looks off. Still not sure if its the bug shield doing it.



These ones look a little better.









For what you are doing on all this, unless you somehow come into most of these parts for cheap/free I just don't see it. The 2001-2002 HD hood is still the best looking one I've seen, and you can do a similar 1 piece headlights with a different grill if that's what you like.

The more I look at it, the more I like it. The SS bumper really fixes a lot of the bumper issues I have.

I mean, my truck has no front right now, the deer saw to that. I’ve got to replace everything down to the radiator supports. I have found a complete front clip for a decent price, but this is always where i come to talk about our vehicles. Bounce ideas around.

Still may pull the trigger on this.

I'm really digging that one too. I think getting rid of the amber in the lights helps the look of that a lot. I prefer the non-fender flare, side steps personally, and I don't think any of those SS bumpers line up without them.
