Looks good. I dig that look. I had a white '95 Z-71(pick-up) and had a shop paint my mirrors white. I was always glad I did that. A local guy still has it and I can always tell that truck a mile away by the mirrors. I think your truck would look good with the front windows tinted and couple fine line black painted pinstripes down the length.

It looks IDENTICAL to mine now lol except for the mirrors, roof rack and grille.

Take a picture in the sunlight so that we can see the wheels. Black wheels in the shade make for a hard thing to see. I have seen other people do what you did, and it looks good.

How'd you go about removing the chrome? I'm looking to do a set myself.

pretty damn hard. i had to sand with a lot of different grits, and after I was completely done I had them sandblasted.

I'm guessing it's gonna be a chore, but I got more time than doe right now. I'm just doing the lips on the rims in my sig, they kinda pitting. Was going to powdercoat but I don't care for the ride of 22's so no need to waste doe. I'm going to go with some 20's with 305/50's once I get a few other things done. Your job came out nice. If I can can come close with mine I'll be happy and put 'em up for sale next winter.

It was a bit of a project for me, it took about a week. Seeing as yours are 22", they could take a little more than a week. But it came out nicely and I'm loving it. good luck!
