thanks guys, appreciate the comments. I have been changing alot of things in the last few Weeks. so it's starting to all come together. I still haven't gotten running boards installed yet. But did get rear vents back installed n color matched some rear window pieces to get them to flow better with the lines of the body. will post up pics of it. Also trying to get a SS front bumper to finish off the front end. we will see if it comes thru this week. if not, soon to come.

That is tough call--too bad you didn't have the same exact shot of the ride without them on for comparison ;) You still have a nice rig regardless......

Does the white match pretty well? Looks a little off from the pic but I like the idea. It works.

I think the best place for a running board is in the attic but it does look too bad color matched.

The truck looks good being color matched but IMO the front bumper needs to be painted white. It stand out too much in chrome.

LMFAO! damn, I would say thanks, but doesn't appear warranted. All good, not hating, everyone has an opinion, kinda like a@@holes haha. :Get him!:

The white does appear off in pic, but is same color as my Tahoe. I got rear vents color matched at same time,all perfect match. The running boards just appear brighter, well, cause they kinda are. Fresh brand new paint up against a dirty, 11 yr old paint job at bottom rockers at that, but exact same color. Damn nit pickers! lol Tahoe isn't done, just showing pic of were it's at.
TOUGH CROWD:boxing: haha.

Heres my .02..... IMO running board pads should of stayed black to accent the tint on the windows IMO. Hood is sick, color blending body lines in rear look good..... Now the chrome bumper..... If you rear is chrome(IMO), leave the front chrome or if your going to paint,do the SS cover and paint foglight vents gray to match your wheels. BOY... you really love WHITE!!!! Should I be worried? LOL:laughing1:

Before you put them on, i thought it would be too white but i think they look good with the painted lower valance. Also gotta say that everything you have done lately with the hood, wheels, running boards and cleaning up that rear trim has made a huge difference

Black steps on the boards ... you're a baller not a milkman.

Unless you are a milkman.
