So, I hadn't posted any updates in a while!

I've since put painted gm wheel arches, swapped out the door handles and mirror caps for painted ones and I put on a bakflip tonneau cover that I scored free from a buddy, yep, FREE.

Shined up the ole hag this morning too!

The new painted items make a world of difference, especially the wheel arches. That is one clean and simple looking truck.

Now to decide to demold the doors?? I kinda dig the painted moldings. (mine are currently chrome) hard to tell in the pic.

And how about the window belts? Paint match em? Wrap em black? Get the black oem ones?? [emoji2369][emoji2369][emoji2369]

Handles are bc, and I'll eventually get the bumpers and grilles painted also.

Thanks

Something so simple made a nice difference. Looks great!

I'd leave the mouldings as-is until you paint the bumpers and grille and focus your efforts and doll hairs towards 22s or 24s. :D

It's hard to fall one way or the other, but I'm leaning towards blacking out the window wipers. After staring at your side shot until cross-eyed, I feel that paint matching them would bring that body line too high and make the windows look slightly short, kinda like a Camaro. It's only slight, and it may look better to you, so I'd say Photoshop it both ways or just wrap your stock ones so you can revert if you don't like it. Maybe use electrical tape and step back to get a visual.

Here's a little update! Put the trekline struts set at 1" upfront and put the stock shackle out back. So, upfront I'm struts and spindles and out back I'm flip with hangar and stock shackle. Essentially 3/6, but I need shorter shocks so the rear comes down a little more.

Also scored the deal of a lifetime on some oe 22s. Guy said the tires had about 20 k on em, but I believe it was actually less than that. Ceramic coated em and mounted em up. Now I need to get a fresh alignment. No pulling or anything, juts got some camber that I wanna fix so it doesn't eat up the tires.
