That will take some work so for now I think I'll rock the light bar. It's been awhile since I could drive it due to the paint work etc. so after awhile I'll gather the stuff for the RGB panels. I need to do more research too. In the meanwhile I decided to buy the Morimoto LED fog lights. They're $210 everywhere I looked but there was a seller on EBay that I've bought from before who had a "make offer" listing so I offered $180, thinking he'd counter but he accepted. The billet grill will be here tomorrow so I'll get the bumper grill area done.

Post some pics once you get them and how bright they are. Been looking at the same ones for my Z71 Tahoe.

Will do. The other day when I went to get the truck from my painter he pointed out I was missing 2 trim pieces at the roof so after $40 here they are. One more thing the damn PO's painter left off.

Got the Morimoto fogs. Pretty good quality and they have a big heatsink so I'm thinking they will be bright. I'll get some night time pics tonight. I still have to adjust them too. Install was straightforward, just swap the hardware off the factory fogs.

Also got the billet grill piece the other day and I had to grind the edges of the bars to an angle so it would fit. I also did a quick sanding and painted it black instead of the chrome. My intention was to just use this to mount a black textured plastic piece to but it doesn't look bad as is. If I decide to leave it, I'll have to pull it and paint it better with more sanding to it. The truck originally came with these billet parts installed over the main grill and even though I hated those, this little one doesn't look bad (after I painted the Super Start battery black). Thoughts?IMG_8681.JPG IMG_8684.JPG

The new bumper looks good, but I liked the solid bumper more. Too bad it wasn't done the right way.

As far as the grille stuff- There's too many patterns going on. I like the OEM crosshatch pattern and think it would look good in the small opening, even if you could only find grille material with the "diamond holes" were a little smaller. Or, you can cut out the OEM grille and put the same billet inserts there (Or is that where you're headed?).
